Freedom’s history is
mostly unwritten
The public archives hold just one old photo of Freedom. The rest are in attics, shoeboxes and the historical society. Help start the collection.

Nothing in Freedom is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Freedom has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is St. Augustine's Catholic Church in Napoleon, 5.1 miles away.
