Franklin, Tennessee is being preserved as an old historic southern township, similar to the preservation of Historic Colonial Williamsburg. Many homes are on the “National Register of Historic Places” as is The Factory at Franklin. The above photographs show the Town Square or Court House Square in downtown Franklin, one of the 1800s vintage homes on the National Register and some night scenes during a snowy winter’s night at The Factory.
One of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War was fought in Franklin, Tennessee towards the end of the Civil War. Many acres of the town are now being set aside to become a memorial park to the fallen of both the Union and the Confederacy. Eventually the parks will become a part of the National Park System.
