A Southern Gentleman Is with Stephen Richards Jr.

Photography by Christian Dian Headden Friends of Franklin Parks invited the community to officially kick off the fundraising campaign for the restoration of the historic Hayes House at Harlinsdale Farm. Guests were invited to tour the home and enjoyed live music from People on the Porch, hors d'oeuvres, and listened to stories about the home from Harlin and Hayes family members. The Hayes House is the circa 1890 Queen Anne Victorian farmhouse that served as the home for the Harlin family at Harlinsdale Farm. Friends of Franklin Parks has committed to raise $750,000 in working with the City of Franklin on the complete restoration of this historic house. Once restored, the Hayes House could host special events, a fine art gallery, and offices to support the Park at Harlinsdale Farm. Friends of Franklin Parks plans to release the full restoration plans in the coming weeks. To learn more or donate to the Hayes House Restoration, visit friendsoffranklinparks.org/hayes-house.
