Things To Do
Downtown Franklin Association & Historic Main Street District
Charming, timeless, and full of Southern hospitality, Downtown Franklin feels like something out of a storybook. With its brick sidewalks, historic buildings, and twinkle-lit streets, this little town invites you to slow down and soak in its warmth. Stroll past cozy boutiques, local cafés, and live music drifting from tucked-away corners. Whether you're grabbing a scoop of ice cream or sipping sweet tea on a porch swing, Franklin offers a picture-perfect backdrop for love, laughter, and celebration. We're so excited to share this special place with you!
The Factory at Franklin
Just minutes from downtown, The Factory at Franklin is a beautifully restored 1929 factory turned creative hub—full of charm, character, and local flavor. Inside, you’ll find artisan shops, unique boutiques, galleries, and some of Franklin’s favorite eats (including coffee, tacos, and Southern comfort food). Whether you're browsing handmade goods, enjoying live music, or grabbing a bite between wedding events, The Factory is a fun and stylish place to explore. It’s the perfect blend of history and hip!
Cheekwood Botanical Gardens & Estate
Once the family home of Mabel and Leslie Cheek, this extraordinary 1930s estate, with its historic mansion and 55 acres of cultivated gardens and expansive vistas, today serves the public as a botanic garden, arboretum and museum. Enjoy a visually enticing stroll along a 1.5 mile woodland sculpture trail or a meandering walk through 13 distinct gardens and delight in an extraordinary array of horticultural displays. Visit the Cheek Mansion, now a museum, for a look at the lifestyle of the American Country Place Era, and walk through family rooms restored to showcase original furnishings and converted to galleries where artworks from our permanent collection or a traveling exhibition will inspire you.
Preservation Park
Located right in the heart of Thompson’s Station, Preservation Park is a beautiful, wide-open green space with rolling hills, scenic walking trails, and peaceful countryside views. Once the site of a Civil War battlefield, the park now offers a serene setting perfect for a morning stroll, a quiet moment before the festivities, or a relaxed family picnic. If you're looking for a little fresh air and Tennessee charm, this is the spot to visit.
