As a 16-year veteran Franklin, Massachusetts Realtor I have had the wonderful opportunity to
meet a variety of buyers who relocated to the greater Franklin area. From my experience I have found that once a person decides that Franklin is the right fit for themselves and/or their family, they realize that they would like to know more about the area. Usually buyers just ask about the religious organizations, the local health clubs and childcare facilities.
I’ve put together some additional ideas specific to the Franklin area that may be less known even to some longtime residents. If you know of some items that can be added to this list, I would love to hear from you…
*The Circle of Friends Coffeehouse, 262 Chestnut Street, Franklin has been named one of the top coffeehouses in the country. Concerts include big name talents like Jimmy Tingle, The Boogaloo Swamis, Cheryl Wheeler, Tom Rush and more… all presented in a local intimate setting and at an affordable price. Extensive gourmet desserts are also available at each show. The facility is wheelchair accessible, smoke and alcohol-free. Call 508-528-2541 for more information and show schedule.
*The Franklin Public Library, the oldest library in the country, offers free tours of the art and architecture of the library. I remember being intrigued to learn that there are many hidden spaces as well as amazing artwork on display there. The library also offers over 17 free passes to local museums and events to any town resident who reserves with their library card. Call 508-520-4940 for tour and pass information.
*The Franklin Historical Museum, 80 West Central Street, Franklin, offers free admission to the public. Exhibits include artifacts from the town’s storied industrial and cultural past as well as extensive diaries spanning 27 years of daily life from Franklin resident George Wadsworth. Call 508-520-4900 for hours of operation.
*The Franklin Dog Park at the Dacey Fields on Lincoln Street, Franklin is the social place to be for area dog lovers. Dogs and their humans seem to drop by regularly as there are always familiar faces. Dog lovers also may know that Petsmart in Bellingham and Bass Pro Shop in Foxboro both are dog-friendly which makes them a welcome stop on rainy days when a cooped-up puppy becomes too much to handle at home.
*There are many hiking and mountain biking trails throughout Franklin and the surrounding towns. Ashland State Park has about 4 miles of trails around the pond; both the Franklin & and Wrentham State Forests have extensive trail systems. The Nature Trail & Cranberry Bog at Patriot Place behind Bass Pro Shop in Foxboro, is a short but very scenic walking trail where you will likely observe all sorts of animal and plant life.
Please give me a call at 508-369-5131 if you’d like to know what your home would sell for in this changing real estate market. I’ll provide the most recent sales data to show your likely sale price within a $10,000 range.
