MA 250 is all about celebrating America’s 250 birthday! Communities around the commonwealth are curating programming to reflect and celebrate this milestone. 

The Franklin Cultural District is excited to announce Franklin’s MA250 Program, (https://www.franklinculture.org/ma-250-franklin-250 ) our local programs and celebrations will be threaded together in a cultural program guide that aligns with the national Massachusetts’ 250th anniversary campaign. This initiative highlights the rich history, innovation, and culture that make Franklin so special.

We Need Your Help!

We’re inviting community members and organizations to contribute to this program by sharing events and programs that align with the MA250 themes. Whether it’s a historical tour, cultural festival, educational talk, or civic engagement initiative, we want to include it!

Submit your event by January 3rd to be featured in our first-ever MA250 Franklin program booklet. Visit https://www.franklinculture.org/ma-250-franklin-250 for program submission. 

How the Program & Stickers Work:

The MA250 program booklet will guide residents through themed events happening in Franklin throughout the year, organized into six categories:

• Historic Legacy

• Innovation & Industry

• Revolutionary Spirit

• Cultural Heritage

• Environmental Stewardship

• Civic Engagement

At each event, participants can collect a unique sticker for their booklet, creating a fun and interactive way to engage with Franklin’s rich heritage. Can you collect them all?

Join us in celebrating our community stories, traditions, and achievements as we build excitement for Franklin’s history and culture!

Submit your programs by January 3rd and help us make this a memorable community initiative.
