Haunted
Franklin Tour
Downtown
Franklin is just a' crawlin' with ghosts!
Tour is offered every night at 8:00 p.m.
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!
$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. Reservations requried.

Ghosts and Gore Tour
Also known as: The
Good Old Days...Not! Tour
Tour is offered
every night at 8:00 p.m.
This
90 minute
tour features the best of downtown Franklin's ghost stories and explores
some of the crime from Franklin's past -- from rape,
murder and prostitution to abortion, bootlegging and murder for
hire--as well as the horrifying Battle of Franklin and its gruesome
aftermath. The criminal elements of this tour make it inappropriate for children
under the age of 14 (you have to trust us on this). $15 per person. The
Ghosts and Gore Tour covers about six city blocks. Dress for the
weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. Most of this tour is wheelchair
accessible. Reservations required.

1830s Washington sex scandal called The Petticoat Affair. Below,
