Historic Downtown Franklin
add photosVisitors to Historic Downtown Franklin experience an award-winning Great American Main Street town and 200 years of history. The Victorian commercial district, with its commemorative brick sidewalks and beautifully renovated historic buildings housing elegant shops, is the heart of Franklin and Williamson County. Downtown Franklin offers an eclectic mix of antique shops, gift and book stores, art galleries, clothiers, and an array of personal and professional services.
Downtown Franklin is a favorite place for those seeking true Southern hospitality and the best shopping and dining in Middle Tennessee. And two of our major annual festivals are among the top 20 events in the entire Southeast, according to the Southeast Tourism Society.
Come take a stroll down Main Street and our surrounding historic neighborhoods of restored antebellum homes. As we like to say, we’re only 15 miles and 100 years down the road from Nashville!

This quaint little town has so much to offer! The whole family will be able to find a shop that they like and have a great time! Everything from fashion, to traditional toys, decor. and artistic jewelery! Don't forget to stop at the corner creamery and treat the family to a creat-your-own frozen sweet!

"So cute!"
This is the cutest downtown I've ever been to! Such a nice safe environment to walk around with your familly. We happened to visit and hear some amazing music, Anna Johnson and her sister playing in front of Mellow Mushroom. You should definitely go for a walk in Downtown Franklin!

"A great place to take visitors! "
Franklin, Tn is one of my favorite places to go. Whether it be for mommy time with friends (without kiddos!) or with my baby in the stroller, it is a quaint downtown with so many neat shops and restaurants. I will say a lot of the stores have a "boutique" feel and tend to be higher priced, but well worth it if you are looking to splurge!
