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.
