Scene at Plain
Image
View of men standing near the intersection of Main Street and Wachter Avenue. The three-story building on the left side of the intersection has a sandwich board advertising "Ice Cream." A man stands near a hand-pump near the side of the street, and three men sit on a horse-drawn cart. Further down the street is a hat shop and meat market on the left. Local historians have identified the building in the distance with a bell tower as the Franklin Town Hall.
