I love living here and would live no other place. Franklin has real seasons and summers are a dream, rarely reaching temperatures above 85. Even on very warm days, the nights are cool and comfortable. There is a small creek that runs through the property and the sound keeps you company day and night. The creek empties into the lovely Handsome Brook. Traffic is quite thin, maybe a car every 20 minutes, so walking on the roads is a pleasure. You will see deer, turkey, the occasional fox. Hawks abound, and it is not uncommon to see heron and bald eagles. At night you will hear owls asking you hoo you are and coyotes often howl in the distance. I was lucky enough to hit an artesian well, when it was drilled. Free flowing water from an 180 deep spring is available at your leisure. The house is located on the site of the old Arctic Creamery, a reminder of the history of Franklin as a busy dairy center in the early and mid twentieth century.
