Frankfort Memorial Park — Local services in Frankfort

Park is nice Frankfort itself is very nice. But we were here on the fourth of July. Everybody bragged about fireworks. The fireworks were ok. Expected more based on the bragging and the amount of money you see living in the town or even renting cottages in town. But worst of all the traffic afterwords.

Great beaches. Beautiful homes. Very friendly people. Odd sense of huge fire works display and odd sense of traffic...

If you decide to drive all of the way up, better have a vehicle with a powerful engine!!

As kids who spent our summers from school on vacation in Frankfort, we used to walk our bicycles from the bottom to about a quarter of the way up Heffren Hill, then speed down it, going all of the way back to Main Street and Memorial Park w/o...
