It's been a long time since I've posted on here, due to school starting and my family not going anywhere for a long time. My dad said we were gonna get some on my birthday, which is July 26. We didn't do it in July, due to not having enough time. We didn't do it in August either... But we finally visited one in late September.

Downtown Franklin

Franklin is a the town that you think is small, but when you go there it's much bigger. The town was very pretty and had scenic views of the mountains (as seen by the picture above). Downtown was small and pretty as well, and everything looked classic with a modern touch. There was many art places with even a old ski lift in downtown.

The town also had many parks and gardens in downtown. One of them having not a veterans memorial like most County Seats, but a Confederate veterans memorial.

Like Henderson County, there was a time capsule that was buried in 1955 for Franklin's 100th anniversary. It's set to open in 2055.

And last but not least, the courthouse. It was on a corner so I couldn't get the entire building but I got it anyway.
