Franklin Area Historical Society's Harding Museum will welcome the community for its second Hometown Holiday on Saturday, Dec. 13, from noon to 5 p.m. Visitors can enjoy a full afternoon of seasonal festivities, including children’s crafts, refreshments, raffles, and a gift shop featuring local artisans.
