June 03, 2021FRANCONIA World War II veterans from Franconia were honored anew with a bronze plaque dedication ceremony at Town Hall on May 24 - just in time for Memorial Day.
The project spanned fifteen years and was spearheaded by the Franconia Area Heritage Council (FAHC), said board member Phil Krill. The new bronze piece replaced a deteriorating, hand-carved and hand-painted wooden sign with unknown origins.
