Welcome! I am the Municipal Historian for the Town of Franklin in Connecticut. While a small town, with a population that has never exceeded 2,300 people, Franklin has a vast history worth exploring and I hope you think so as well. Here, I share my writings, speeches, and videos that I produce on town and state history, American History, and First World War history.
Make sure to check out my upcoming events on the calendar.
