Franklin’s galamander is one of just two known galamanders on display within the state of Maine.
A locally built, large-wheeled transporter, it was designed for horses to haul huge slabs of granite
from quarries in Franklin and Sullivan.

Society
I
couldn't find any links to the FHS but they are alive and well - I just
paid my dues for 2004 (and 2002).
I'll
try to add more info here if I get any.
Their
latest newsletter, Spring 2004, had a nice feature on quarrying in
Franklin so I thought
a pic of the galamander would be in order.
