My late father was twelve and living in Springfield, MA when this footage was taken. He would've gotten a kick seeing this video clip! As always, thanks NASS!
I always look for videos that take place in Massachusetts. Never expected to ever see a video of the town I live directly next to! I’m a 5 - 10 minute drive from Franklin. Having lived in Medway, MA since I was 13.
Lived in Milford during high school, early 70s. Used to go to the movie theater in Franklin with my gf. First movie I saw there was Walking Tall, the original of course.

@@jeanpauljean5084 I have seen stories from people who went on vacation to Europe, didn't change what they ate and lost weight. Then they gained it back when they returned. I think the food in the USA is poison now.
Great job!! So fun looking back and trying to figure out what is in that area now. Depot Street, with Chilson's Market, now Dean Bank. Franklin Town Pool.........now the Sculpture Park....Buildings are still there; store fronts changed. Times change but memories last!! Thank you Nass!!
Does anyone else get the feeling life was a lot mellower back then? More relaxed? Just seems a little more… straight forward. Or, maybe it’s the voices in my head.
@@danielroque8504Yes right after the Great Depression into the whirlwind of the war. With the lingering concerns about the security and the safety of the country especially after the Nazis defeated the Democracies in 1940. None knew how the war would end, and there was a big probability that we would have a Nazi dominated Europe back then.
All those young men in their late teens have no idea what's going to happen in 5 years. I truly do think though that that bad economic times made them tougher both mentally and physically for WW2.
This is truly wonderful to behold! Thank you for sharing this updated version! Simply amazing! I recognize all of the locations and buildings. I’ve lived (and taught) here 25 years (my wife- her whole life, so far). This is so meaningful and precious. Thank you.
The People in this footage would be mind blown to know some nearly 90 years later a bunch of people anywhere in the world would be able to watch them in color on a phone. Amazing.
Я из Беларуси. Спасибо вам уважаемые за эти погружения в прошлое. Некоторые ваши видео я показываю на своих уроках истории , когда изучаем Америку и это в 100 раз лучше чем самый хороший текст.
2:43. Same building is still there. The town never grew much more than this. Train still takes you to Boston. About a 45 minute drive to Boston and about a half hour to providence RI. Next to 495. good little town.
Thanks for your hard work on this! I really enjoyed the video, which stands out in quality compared to similar content I've seen. Franklin truly seemed like a thriving community in the 1930s. A couple of observations: It's interesting to see how men always wore suits back then, and seeing the children was a poignant reminder that most of them are likely no longer with us
Thank you so much for making these. Fixing them so they look modern and new makes it so much more real in a sense . It's almost like I'm there watching everybody I only wish I could ask them what the secret to after death is since they're all gone already it's a shame we can't just jump into the screen and live there
Any Town, USA. Amazing. A couple of constants in these films: lots of dust and grime and everyone always look hot (no matter what the season). Thanks, NASS.
What a time machine! Very interesting. I think that I recognize some of the buildings. It is erry to think none of the people in this film are alive today.
Just to imagine how hard life used to be back then , today housing is the most expensive, but we all know why ,but in those days if you didn't have a college or university diploma or a good skill life was hard, my grandpa was a shepherd we always had food but I remember the very first TV he purchased in payments and the first color TV from the entire neighborhood, to buy a car was super expensive my grandpa build his house by himself it 2as the only way to have a house, everything changed after ww2 more houses more jobs more of everything , it's unbelievable how fast time goes.
Real America. As I stated many times before. I would give it all up to live in the era before our country was sold out by politicians and greed. Family values, everyone had respect, loved our country and dressed to the 9s! Pre WWII-America was strong, not divided, compassionate and we BUILT things. No McDs, No Walmart's. I know many of us would love to go back to that time or even the 50s. If that was possible, we would not need RUclips, we would be the ones in the videos. Great Job NASS! Thanks
Some commenters here seem to think these films are the same as video. That is incorrect . Motion picture film is 8mm, 16mm, & 35mm. made of cellulose consisting of 100s, or 1000s of individual photos. Video did not exist at that time. Film and video are not the same thing. Just like a horse and a car are different.
I grew up a few hours NW of there, as did my parents, and their parents... Interesting to see all the drop-bar bikes, I didn't think those became popular until the 1970s. Wonder what brought out all those bike riders? My Dad would have been 10 at this time, but he eventually had a lot of success on HS teams including football, so it's interesting seeing the kids here play in such minimal equipment - gear that would have been similar to Dad's. Interesting too that the kids don't seem intent on brutalizing one another or creating a spectacle of ultra-violence which is what I would expect to see today.
There is a sign on one of the buildings later in the video that says "Welcome home Clarmac A.C."... maybe "AC" means "Athletic Club" and those were members on a cross country bike race?
There were only about three people who were a little overweight, and they all were about 60 or 70 years old. And they only had a big belly! I guess there wasn't much junk food back then, and they had to get outside and move-unheard of today! If you didn't work you didn't eat LOL
1:00 I bike club. Just like I used to do in the 1980s. 50 year difference. 1930s-1980s nothing changed. Don't see it much now as most peeps be texting.
At 5:22, the car is not locked.. that says a lot about our times and the education of people today. It seems unthinkable today not to lock your car.. Poor society, poor times we live in..
I drive a convertible and I leave it unlocked most of the time. I leave it unlocked and with the top down when parked much of the time. I've left it overnight on residential streets like that. Never a problem. And this is in a city of 1/2M with the usual "big city problems." We're socialized to be paranoid about crime and criminals. Yes, I know there are anecdotes, everyone has anecdotes and has heard of something happening ...
At 2:40 tge western union building with its curved multi fronted store reminds me of the exterior of South Kensington station in London Beautiful. Does the town resemble this video today or would you be lost by the differences?

Hello Sir from Port Orchard, WA.

Someone in Franklin should shoot some modern footage of the same sites and do a Then and Now edit.
I grew up there in the 60's and 70's. Learned how to swim at the town pool. Miss Metcalf was our instructor.
Thanks for posting NASS!
Amazing job, TY for the trip back in time.

It's wild watching people play football without all those helmets
Back then it was a game not an attempt to injure and losing was sportsmanship not the end of the world
This is one of your best involving people and crowds. I especially enjoyed the bicycle parade .
Thanks!
That was really kind of you.
thank you very much, God bless you!!
Lived in MA all my life. This isn't too far from where I live. Really great to see.
Fascinating video. Thanks for posting.
Thx!
Another Great video! Thank you

Nice as always😊
Some of the people in this video where alive during the American Civil war, just.
That old man walking to the door looks like 80, probably born in the 1840's. Would have been the right age for a soldier in the Civil war.

I feel connected to the era because my parents were born in 1930 and my grandparents were born in 1900 .
Ben zut alors!!! Toutes les formes de guidon de vélo étaient déjà présente dans les années 30😃😃😃
I'm struck by how few women are on this film compared to men.
Pretty much the same in the early 60's....I loved the Franklin Pool, Down on the Farm, first love: Ronnie McDermit
Incredible what the things change after WW1 😮. Much more fast that today

This is from October 1936 due to the town's support on the Lodge, Haigis, and Saltonstall campaign.
