All are welcome to come and view the new exhibit that depicts the Early History of Normal Schools in America and Framingham State College’s role as being the First State Normal School in the country.  We opened in Lexington, Mass. as the Lexington Normal School, on July 3, 1839.  See the detailed early history of this institution as it became more and more successful and out-grew two locations, finally ending here at its present and final location in Framingham, Mass. in 1853.

Exhibit runs through until September 2008.
