Franklin, MA Real Estate

 

The Town of Franklin is a city [1] in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 29,560 at the 2000 census.

Franklin was first settled by Europeans in 1660 and was officially incorporated in 1778.

The Franklin Public Library is the nation's first lending library. In 1778, when the town was incorporated, the designated name Exeter was changed to Franklin in honor of Dr. Benjamin Franklin. When asked to donate a bell, Franklin responded with an offer of books for the city's residents, acknowledging that 'sense' was preferable to 'sound.' The original Franklin collection is still housed in a bookcase in the library. The Town is also home to the birth place of America's father of public education, Horace Mann. Franklin is also home to the nation's oldest continuously operational one-room school house in the nation. The Red Brick School was built in 1792 and is operational to this day. St. Mary's Catholic church, located in central Franklin, is the largest Catholic parish in the Boston Archdiocese with some 15,000 members. Franklin was the home of the historic Zeotrope Theater.
