Tiny Kansas town to host prestigious Smithsonian exhibit
The tiny town of Franklin, Kansas, population 250, has no school, gas station, hotel or restaurant.
But for six weeks it will house a prestigious exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution.
Frankin will host the Smithsonian exhibit on work and working, one of several traveling historical exhibits that breathe life into often-struggling small towns. The exhibit will visit six Kansas towns starting next September, reaching Franklin in May 2013.
