Welcome!

You’ve landed on a site that is focused on just one activity of the H.H. Franklin Club, the Franklin Westrek.  The Franklin Westrek is an annual multi-day tour held in the Western United States.  It is hosted by different volunteers each year who determine the location, dates and length of their tour, as well as the venues to visit, which meals will be included and the amount of tour fees to charge.  The activity is sanctioned by the H. H. Franklin Club, Inc., but is funded strictly from tour fees and donations. Members, their families and their guests are welcome.  Most members bring a Franklin car for touring, but folks are encouraged to come even if their Franklin isn’t available.  Regular participants look forward to seeing and catching up with their Franklin friends and family each year.

This site was launched in June of 2017, and the current designers envision that it will be updated to emphasize the latest information on the current Westrek and those that are being planned for the future. Perhaps “look back” type articles and/or photographs can be added to describe and remind us of earlier events. Please offer your comments and suggestions about the website via the Contact button and check back often.
