Many have called Franklin, Tennessee the most livable historic small town in America, and it is easy to see why. Visitors are left deeply impressed by the natural beauty of Franklin’s gently rolling hills, surrounding horse farms and the grace and southern charm of the people who call Franklin home.

Founded in 1799, Franklin’s legacy became forever linked to our national story when one of the Civil War’s bloodiest battles played out on its stage on November 30, 1864. Recently, Franklin has received national attention and has been awarded for its efforts in reclaiming and preserving large portions of its Civil War historic sites.

Franklin is a prime example of a sustainable community in which neighborhoods have survived and prospered over centuries. In fact, Franklin’s Historic Main Street district is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a model of traditional mixed uses – residential, commercial, retail, office and civic – coexisting together within the same few blocks.

With a great quality of life, exceptional schools, a low crime rate and abundant recreational opportunities, Franklin continues to attract people from across the country seeking a very special place to live and work.
