Arts & culture

While sharing much of its cultural access with nearby New Brunswick (home to major theaters and Rutgers University), Franklin Township has its own distinct cultural venues. * **Villagers Theater**: Located in the municipal complex, this established community theater offers year-round productions, youth programs, and a playwrights series. * **Ukrainian Cultural Center**: Located in Somerset, it hosts cultural events, festivals, and community gatherings reflecting the area's Eastern European heritage. * **Local Heritage**: The Meadows Foundation actively restores and maintains several historic homes across the township, hosting periodic cultural and historical events.
