Franklin

Franklin is a unique blend of history and progress. Since its beginning in 1799, the city has grown from a tiny, agricultural community into a strong blend of residential, commercial and corporate citizens. There is much to see and do in Franklin, from a Civil War battlefield, to a host of museums and antebellum mansions, to the thriving downtown shopping area and the Cool Springs Galleria. Just a few miles from town is the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway, and if you like antiques, Franklin has some of the best shops in Tennessee. Downtown Franklin is comprised of a beautiful 15 block historic district, offering true Southern hospitality with a great American main street and 200 years of rich history. Visitors will find commemorative brick sidewalks, beautiful landscaping, lovely Victorian architecture and stunning renovated historic buildings – all located in the heart of Franklin.
