The photos featured on the cover are from “The Stories of Franklin” page on our website VisitFranklin.com. They aren’t our photos, they’re yours. We didn’t write the stories they tell, you did. Partnering with a new platform called Lens, we’re able to share and engage with you, our visitor, like never before on social media. We could sit here and be clever, make up a bunch of scripted marketing language, but that just wouldn’t be us.

Thanks to all of you who allowed us to use your photos in the visitor guide!

Rooted in Americana AMERICANA IS A SOUND.

It’s a roots, bluesy kind of groove that springs up between the toes of your barefoot soul. It’s what life sounds like when you slow down and listen. And it’s that sway you get back when music chases worry straight out of your bones. Franklin is where the roots of music run deep. AMERICANA IS A STORY. It’s a collection of moments that are yours, mine, and ours. It’s walking into the past with curious eyes to happen on a story that changes the contour of the now. Franklin is where the roots of history run deep. AMERICANA IS A VIBE. It’s a culture that grows up, around, and alongside everyday life like wildflowers. It’s untamable, with a color and cadence all its own. It’s eclectic shops, aromatic fare, live music, and a Main Street that has won a million hearts with its genuine, sophisticated charm. Franklin is where the roots of culture run deep.
