FRANKLIN What do Franklin and Boston have in common?
Besides being in the same state, they both have a connection to Founding Father Benjamin Franklin.
Until now, that was it. But the list is about to get a bit longer.
Franklin will soon have its own version of the Freedom Trail. But instead of a red line linking various sites of cultural and historical interest, Franklin will have ladybugs. Not the tiny kind that come out on warm days the ones that are two feet tall and made of fiberglass.
In cooperation with various local businesses and organizations, the Franklin Downtown Partnership (FDP) is planning a ladybug sculpture trail that will link historical and cultural sites in the downtown area.

NEW FRANKEN, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Eileen and Kirk Mason have been coming to Bay Shore County Park in New Franken for two years.
“It’s a great way to get out and enjoy. Wisconsin is a beautiful state and it’s a great way to explore the state and really appreciate where we live,” Eileen Mason said.
Last year, the Masons noticed a significant increase in campers at the park.
“Obviously through COVID we weren’t the only ones that had this idea. It was very, very busy,” Eileen Mason said.
They think it’ll stay the same over the course of this summer.
