From the scars of a terrible Civil War battle to the remnants of picturesque 19th century plantations, Franklin still has one foot firmly in the past. While only a short drive away from bustling Nashville and its huge variety of entertainments and attractions, this southern suburb still holds a life of its own. Downtown is one of the best places to get a taste of the historic feel that sets Franklin apart, with historic buildings containing a huge array of shops and restaurants.
