CONNECTING THE CHILDREN OF YESTERDAY WITH THE CHILDREN OF TODAY

The goal of the Heritage Foundation's Education department is to ignite a passion in the leaders of tomorrow to love, advocate, and support local history and preservation efforts!

We will do this through partnering with local school leaders, producing in-house curriculum, activating engaging field trips, and providing meaningful professional development and continued learning opportunities.

Abram Maury Writing Award

In honor of the founding of Franklin, Tennessee 225 years ago, we are presenting the first annual Abram Maury Writing Award to hear from local students like YOU. This award honors, Mr. Abram Maury, who is considered the “Founder of Franklin.” There will be a Middle School category (6th-8th grade) and High School category (9th-12th grade).

*Submissions Due: Friday, February 28th, 2025
