Spend This Saturday in Franklin!
Think there's nothing to do on a wintery Saturday? Think again!
There's plenty to do in Franklin. Less than 30 minutes from Concord!
Here's an itinerary for your next Saturday:
10:00am: Head up to
266 Flaghole Road
Built in 1960 by the Army Corps of Engineers for the City of Franklin. This hidden gem is only 30 minutes from Concord! Located in West Franklin, I suggest a drive up Route 3 is in order.
The Hill, as we affectionately call it, is run by the Franklin Outing Club. Don't let that word "Club" deter you; no membership is required. The nonprofit FOC has been chartered to operate the area since inception.

Dinner Time is an Asian Delight
330 Central Street
Hate that greasy feeling you get from the average Chinese restaurant? It doesn't have to be that way! Located across Memorial Street from Franklin CIty Hall is one of the best Asian restaurants in the state! And that's not just me talking. Asian Delight has consistently been top rated by WMUR's Viewers Choice Awards.
After Dinner: Drinks at Vulgar Brewing Company
378 Central Street
The origin of the word Vulgar means of the people. Vulgar Brewery in Downtown Franklin has a mellow attitude and flavorful brews. The perfect place to hang out and sample some great beer.
You won't get blasted out the door by loud music. Actually hear your companions. Relax and enjoy one of Vulgar's funky pizzas with your beer. Straight from their pizza oven to your table. How about a Royal With Cheese!
While the brew equipment is on display through its windows on Central Street, Vulgar's entrance is just a few paces away through cozy Marceau Park. And speaking of park, there is tons of free parking behind Vulgar.
No matter your downtown destination, don't be deterred if Central Street is full. The free municipal parking lot is accessible down either Memorial or Smith Street.
7:30pm: Music at the Franklin Opera House
Located inside City Hall
316 Central Street
In the 1890's the City of Franklin focused their attention on quality of life issues for their vibrant community. By 1892 they had planned and started construction of a new City and Soldier's Memorial Hall.
Designed by William Butterfield in the Romanesque Revival style, the red granite and brick building included City offices, the police and water departments, the city court, a theatre and function hall. The police, court and water department have their own buildings now, but the beautiful theater remains!

While the Mill City Project will be a great addition to our City, no need to wait.
