Founded in 1799, Franklin lives and breathes its history like no other. From its famous “Franklin on Foot” walking tour that shows just how much can be seen from the city’s sidewalks to other icons like Historic Main Street, the 1938 Franklin Theatre, and centennial, even bi-centennial homes and businesses, Franklin melds its unique history into a story of growth, prosperity, and togetherness. Recently named one of the nation’s best places to live, Franklin is truly a charming place to settle as it embodies a commitment to community, a soul-deep feature of the South.
