FRANKLIN The ninth-largest community in Tennessee, Franklin wears many faces. Its walkable downtown is both quaint and modern, and history buffs can visit multiple Civil War sites. It’s also a great antiquing destination and is filled with lush green rolling hills. Stressors peel away on the drive out to Leiper’s Fork, where you can stroll through galleries, boutiques and coffee shops. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled, as many musicians of all genres call Leiper’s Fork home. Do have a meal here—you won’t want to miss out on 1892. Leiper’s Fork Distillery is another must; here you’ll not only learn about whiskey, but tour the facility and enjoy a tasting. And did we say Franklin that is the most haunted city in Tennessee? Take a ghost tour, if you dare! visitfranklin.com 28
