" If you have built castles in the air,
your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be.
Now put the foundations under them."
-- Henry David Thoreau

The past few years have proven to be a momentous for the First Universalist Society in Franklin. Our temporary (10+ year) home at Dean College was bursting at the seams, and in response the Society purchased an 11 acre parcel of land on Chestnut Street to be the site of our new home. An extremely successful Capital Campaign raised over $400,000.

A ground breaking ceremony was held on April 25 '99. Pictures are here. Construction began in early Nov 2000. We held our first service outside the building on May 6, 2001 Pictures are here Read Denny Davidoff's sermon and our first service inside on May 13, 2001. Pictures are here
