    It's the 12 Days of Downtown Christmas!🎅🎄

    On the twelfth day of Downtown Franklin Christmas we are thankful for the businesses that create lasting memories in YOUR downtown! The Historic Artcraft Theatre has arguably created more positive memories than any business in the history of Franklin. We are so thankful for Franklin Heritage Inc. and the good work they are doing at the Artcraft. This 100+ year old theatre will certainly be making memories in our downtown for many more years to come. ❤
