Ischua Valley Historical Society Opens for 2026 Summer Season
The Ischua Valley Historical Society opened its Miner's Cabin museum on Pine Street in Franklinville for its 2026 summer season, with Sunday hours running from June 3 through August 26 and added Wednesday hours from July 11 through August 29. The volunteer-run nonprofit preserves local history for the Franklinville and Ischua Valley area through its collection of artifacts and archives. The extended summer schedule gives residents and visitors more opportunities to explore the museum during the warmer months before the society returns to a reduced off-season schedule in the fall.
