Love, Crime and Mischief Walking Tour

A couple in a cutter with villagers in pursuit!
Horse tails trimmed in the dead of night!
A boy and a skunk on the way to school!
What do these events have in common?  Love, Crime and Mischief!

In 1855, the Pontiac Gazette described Franklin as a little country village with 100 inhabitants.  A humble, unpretentious street with many simple, comfortable dwellings extends south from the river.

The fairy tale description of a quiet village does not reveal the love, crime and mischief that occurred within its boundaries! The tour will uncover these stories and more.
