Franklinton Notables

The Franklinton Historical Society offers its Zoom interview series featuring persons who have made notable contributions to the Franklinton community and the preservation of its unique history. Although the COVID-19 Pandemic has limited our in-person educational programs, we are determined to continue telling the story of Franklinton by using a virtual platform and sharing these saved videos on our website.

We hope you enjoy the video series!
