There's more than 150 unique places to explore in and around the National Register Historic District of Franklin, Tenn. May of 1995, Franklin was honored as one of the best downtown areas in the nation when it received one of five "Great American Main Street" awards in the first year of an annual competition held by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Since then, accolades have included the "Best Small Town in Tennessee," "America's Most Romantic Main Street" and "One of America's Greatest Antique Destinations," among others. Any time is perfect for a visit, but we have fun, free events throughout the year – major festivals and happenings that have attracted visitors from all over the world.
