Felt like we fell into a movie set as tourists. We were in Nashville for 4/5 days and decided to spent an afternoon here to branch out a little and see more of Tennessee. Around 20 miles from where we were staying, we decided to get an uber which was a good journey & easy transport. Vibrant place, great to take a walk and pop in and out of some of the stores. Loved our visit and highly recommend to anyone visiting Nashville, cool to see other areas of Tennessee.

Terrible!! Festivals are nothing like they used to be yrs ago!!! Few Decent vendors most seemed like info booths. The food a joke. 5 food Places to actually grab a bite. 30 min wait for a $17 hamburger with a kid size chip. Not sure who was in charge of running this event but that’s outrageous and tasted like 50/50 if it was even hamburger. You wanna beer? I used to work the beer at past events when adults could actually be adults. Now you stand in a pen to drink your beer because they’re to cheap to put a few police on so people can enjoy themselves and walk around. They have a couple security guards at the beer pen to babysit. if you wanna have a festival, make it enjoyable!!! decent affordable food not handing you slop and making $15 off off a greasy cheap burger. have decent vendors and allow adults to actually walk around with a beer. If you need to hire a couple rent a cops do it. Was people just walking around like robots. Will never go down there again or recommend to anyone

Although Franklin is still one of our favorite small towns the downtown shops are not as interesting as they once were several years ago. There are still some shops we enjoy going in and we will purchase a few items. But to be honest a number of shops are a bit high end.At one point Franklin had the second highest per capita income in the country for its size. The residents there can certainly afford it. Some of the restaurants are pricey also. We do like Puckett’s and Merridee’s on 4th Avenue. It is a lively downtown and tourists do flock to it.

We enjoyed our historic visit. While there are some very nice guided tours we did fine on several self guided tours and never paid any fees for any tours. The visitors center has maps, restrooms, and brochures. We walked around downtown looking at historic houses and buildings. We then went to Pinkerton park and walked to Fort Granger which had lots of Civil War Historic signs. We then went to Eastern Flank park which has a huge battlefield with lots of signs explaining the history. You don’t need to book a your tour to see the battlefield there. They do have a historic house you can pay a fee to tour.

Variety of shops, clean streets, friendly vendors, historic buildings and homes. Architecturally interesting. Good girls trip.
