What They Say

about Downtown Franklin, Indiana

Love the architecture, vibe, shops, restaurants and the events that they have. One of my favorite places to visit.

Darrin McKinzie

Love all the fun events they plan! Franklin is such a neat city! We love all the places to eat & all the trails to enjoy!

Marie Storm

(The Farmers) Market, like everything else in Franklin, is wonderful! Easy to shop, then shop downtown Franklin and then have lunch! 

Shari Burger

The Artcraft is a great place to watch a movie. The theater has been beautifully restored. Love the marquee and the old-time concession stand.

Michael Love

This town has a small, historic town feel without being small. From the variety of shops downtown for shopping to the restaurants... all within walking distance.
