A memory of home, mapped

Not simply a map of where you live. A memory of the best days of your life.

KNOWOL created this portrait of Franklin as it looks today, using the visual grace of an old New England atlas. Modern streets, individual houses, shaded terrain, water, parks, and familiar local places are drawn together in one detailed view of home. Follow the roads, count the houses, and find your exact home on the map. Once you realize it's accurately placed, the map stops being a decoration and becomes a memory of a place in time.

The Map that Brings Franklin Home

The familiar lines of Ayer Road and Kahn Road lead the eye into a portrait filled with individual buildings. Look farther and Downtown, Smith Corner, and Town Hall give the map the local character that makes Franklin immediately recognizable.

Made to begin stories

Hang it where people gather and watch what happens. Someone finds their own roof first, then follows Ward Lane to the corner they always turned at. Someone else stops at Avery Hill, then at Staebner, and an ordinary afternoon comes back before anyone can explain why.

Each Franklin map is printed from a high-resolution 300 DPI original on archival matte paper and is available unframed or framed in black or white Ayous wood. See the available sizes and finishes.
