Foxborough was established and incorporated as a town on June 10, 1778. We have an annual event to celebrate this. In the morning, there's a large parade [after the annual pancake breakfast] with antique and current fire trucks from Foxborough and area towns, marching bands, a gaelic band, antique cars, town organizations [such as us], the schools, floats, local politicians, and others. There are booths, displays, games, and tournaments at Booth Playground on South Street after the parade. The festivities end with a spectacular fireworks display.
Take a break from Foxborough Founders' Day field activities and enjoy a refreshingly fun ride trough town by hopping on board a trolley, a 1910 Model T Touring car, or both! Designed mostly for children, the trolley tours will be entertaining and informative for both children and adults. While Katie
Lawson is guiding the in-town trolley tours and imparting some fun tid-bits of the town's history, Nancy and Dave will be escorting passengers in their antique car on a shorter jaunt through Foxborough.
The ticket booth and departure location for both transportation modes is the Igo Building?s South Street parking lot. Tickets for the historical trolley tours are: $1 per child (under 12); $2 per adult; and $5 per family. The trolley will depart every 30 minutes between noon and 2:30 p.m. The price to ride in the Model T is $5 per car load; children must be accompanied by an adult.
All proceeds will be devoted solely to the preservation of the Foxborough Universalist Church building - the oldest church building in town and the oldest building on the Foxborough Common. Come join the fun on the trolley and Model T on Founders' Day!
We are extremely thankful to the following businesses for their help, sponsorships, and/or donations and thank them for their generosity in helping us preserve our gem of Foxborough's history:
This year?s trolley tour sponsors are: Antonia?s Deli, Aubuchon Hardware, Bright Start Child Care, Lake View Pavilion, Mansfield Eye Center, RE/MAX (The Real Estate Center), Rodman Ford Lincoln Mercury, Sam?s Stamp Shop, Sandwich Lantern Works, The Learning Experience, and Tree Tech.
Historical Trolley Tours
Past themes of our "Historical Trolley Tours" have included “The Churches Of Foxborough”, “Foxborough's Homes And Businesses Of The 18th And 19th Centuries”, "The Schools Of Foxborough: Then And Now", “Foxborough’s Straw Hat Era”, and "Around The Common, Around The Town". All money raised through the Trolley Tours is devoted to improvements to and preservation of our historic building, not religious programs.
