Project Context
Industrial Memory From Above
Franklin works well as a visual-history proof of concept because the town reads strongly from the air: river movement, brick mill blocks, civic structures, church forms, neighborhoods, and the visible footprint of industrial New Hampshire.
This page positions Franklin as a study model for how the Monadnock Aerial History Project can document towns with layered architectural and industrial stories.
