PHILLIPS — Franklin County History Tour is set for 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, June 4.
People can immerse themselves in Franklin County’s cultural and economic heritage, if only for one day, be it the history of a small town baseball team, Abenaki basketry, the paper making and shoe industries, steam-powered automobiles, narrow gauge railroads, flooded settlements, sporting camps, and more, according to a news release from the Phillips Historical Society.
Join veteran and fledgling history buffs in a free, self-guided tour of some 20 historical societies and museums scattered throughout Franklin County.
“While they are unique in their holdings, the societies and museums are also unique in the days and hours and months they are open during the year. That’s why we created the one-day-we-are-all-open-at-the-same-time-history-tour,” said Jane Stinchfield of the historical society, according to the release.
Maps are available at area historical societies. The event will be repeated on Oct. 8.
For more information, call Stinchfield at 860-8545.
