Franklin Walking Tours

114 East Main Street, Franklin, TN 37064

Parker and I are BIG time spooky lovers. If you get some free time these walking ghost tours (or history tours if you're a big ole skeptic) are so fun and you learn so much about the rich history of Franklin, TN. Be prepared to do some walking and don't blame us if you get spooked by a ghost. (Just don't bring them with you to the wedding.)

Home of the Stars Tour

Fun Fact: Williamson County is the richest county in Tennessee, and with it only being 20 minutes South of Nashville, TONS of celebrities live there. That being said, it seems only right we link the tour if you're into that kind of thing. P.S It's mostly country stars in case you couldn't guess.
