Horace Mann

One of the best treasures of New England is the people of New England - those who currently live and those who have lived here previously. Each of these individuals, famous or not, has/had his/her own unique mixture of creativity and other personal gifts, and each contributed or is contributing to make this region what it is.

One of these people is Horace Mann, an educator, lawyer, and legislator originally from Franklin, Massachusetts. Mr. Mann has been called the "Father of American Education."
