Free Frank could neither read or write
but understood the legal importance of geography, maps and
survey. During the frontier period it was necessary for the
settlers to have a thorough knowledge of architecture since
it was often the family building their own home. When Free
Frank founded New Philadelphia his knowledge of architecture
was extensive. It is the mission of the Foundation when rebuilding
New Philadelphia to preserve its architectural history.
