Haunted Franklin Tour

           Downtown Franklin is just a' crawlin' with ghosts! 

 Departed socialites, spies, businessmen, Confederate soldiers, and even children roam Main Street and Third Avenue, and we spend a delightful hour and a half with them on this tour.  One is helpful, several appear lonely, and one seems to be afraid of the dark!   

Haunted Franklin tours available nightly* now through October. Call for times and reservations.

               $15 adults (ages 14+); $10 children ages 6 - 13.  No children under the age of 6, please.  This tour covers about six city blocks.  Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather.  Most of this tour is wheelchair accessible.  *We reserve the right to cancel for fewer than four participants.

Murder and Mayhem on Main Street 

            All crime all the time!

 This tour includes the very best of the worst.  It's the kind of tour that makes Franklin natives of a certain age say, "I remember when that happened!"  If you like the down and dirty, this is your tour!  You will hear about:

• Murder (of all kinds: for hire, passion- and alcohol-fueled)

• Prostitution

• Back-alley abortion

• Riots

• Blackmail

• Bootlegging

• War

Murder and Mayhem tours available Friday and Saturday nights* now through October. Call for times and reservations. 

Not appropriate for children under 14. $15 per person.  The Murder and Mayhem Tour covers about six city blocks.  Dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes.  Most of this tour is wheelchair accessible. *We reserve the right to cancel tour for fewer than four participants. Murder and Mayhem Tour is available other night by special arrangement for parties of four or more.

  This 1890s Kurz & Allison print of the Battle of Franklin misses on the topography but the fighting is gruesomely accurate.
