City/town information
Downtown Franklin is a 30 minute walk, or 2.5 mile drive. Lots of free parking (the garage on 4th and Main is free), and fun atmosphere with shops and places to eat.
There are lots of little shops and restaurants, as well as the Landmark Booksellers, a treasure of a book shop with leather chairs to sit and read. You'll love discovering the shops and food downtown, and there are several large downtown festivals throughout the year. We know how to celebrate as a community in Franklin!

Neighborhoods
It's a hopping vibe, lots of live music and some great vibes and eats. Check out the music scene on Broadway, daytime is best imho, it gets crazy after dark. I like Printers' Alley for a chiller vibe of live music. And there's the Ryman Theatre, and the Country Music Hall of Fame, and Johnny Cash Museum, a must stop!
