Framingham's Historic Buildings
Central to our work and to the life of Framingham is the preservation of three irreplaceable buildings constructed in the 1800s on the Town Centre Common. The Old Academy, an unusual Greek Revival temple, the Village Hall, at the epicenter of the Common and still an important meeting house, and the Edgell Memorial Library, a grand Victorian Gothic structure in urgent need of repair. Click on the images below for more information on each building.

"You have no idea how grateful I am to you. You have made a difference in my life…now I have some information on my family that I feel is correct to go by. I wouldn't have been able to get the information without you.
When I first started my family tree I did not even know (my grandfather's parents' name) so I just hit that wall and could not find out any more on them but as I see now I was going down some of the wrong paths. This information should open up a couple of paths for me. I do thank you from the bottom of my heart."
