Small Town America, Framingham, a memoir. Travel with me as a 'little detective' trying to make sense of a life few now know. There was a time when some people were afraid to drive a car! When no one wanted a dryer, clothes smelled so good drying out on the line. We had a rag man, milk and bread were delivered, along with coal and ice. The war changed all our lives, before, during and after! Learn so much more, through my eyes way long ago!

Small Town America Framingham before the war/Shoppers World
It's time for another Street Smarts Program!
Charlie Holt and his Dad on the tip cart at Good Luck Farm
Sunday, March 3rd
2:00 pm
Historic Village Hall - 2 Oak Street - Framingham
It may be hard to imagine Shoppers' World territory as farmland and nurseries, but that's exactly what was there before the first mall east of the Rockies came to town. Join Charlie Holt, a current Framingham resident with a connection to the area that dates to 1840, as he takes us back to a time when this bustling area of Speen Street and Route 30 had a more agricultural and horticultural flavor. Guests are also encouraged to share stories of how the explosive growth of the 1950s affected their families.
