WATCH: Three Historic Buildings of the Framingham History Center

We continue our partnership with the Framingham History Center, as we look at certain aspects of local history during the 325th anniversary of the community’s incorporation. This month, we wanted to learn more about the three buildings that make up the History Center’s home base–the Edgell Memorial Library, Village Hall, and the Old Academy.

This month, we wanted to learn more about the three buildings that make up the History Center’s home base–the Edgell Memorial Library, Village Hall, and the Old Academy.

We spoke with FHC’s Executive Director Anna Tucker to dive into the history of these structures, and discover how they’ve come to reflect the people of Framingham over the years.
