Franklin, North Carolina is a classic slice of Small Town America. While we're considered the trade center of far Western North Carolina and home to national technology providers, you'll find our lifestyle is relaxed and so are our people. Friendly smiles and hellos will greet you as walk through our downtown area or along the Little Tennessee River Greenway that runs through the heart of Franklin. Our heritage is showcased in the three museums all located within walking distance of each other on Town Hill. During the Spring and Summer months the Town sponsors Pickin' on the Square with free, live entertainment downtown at the Gazebo on the square. Plus, the Town sponsors and hosts many festivals and events each year.
