We're excited to announce that our downtown Visitor Center is preparing to undergo a renovation! Our current location will be closed starting March 4th, and we will re-open a temporary Visitor Center at the Five Points Post Office on March 11th where visitors can still receive helpful trip planning information and shop a scaled-down retail selection. The hours of the temporary pop-up will be Monday - Friday from 8:30am - 5pm, Saturday from 8:30am - 1pm, and closed on Sunday. We look forward to sharing our new Visitor Center with you later this Spring!

Our next Board member spotlight is Bari Watson Beasley, President & CEO of the Heritage Foundation of Williamson County! Bari has led the organization for the past seven years and has been instrumental in furthering their mission to preserve regional history, local historic places, and signature events that carry on the community’s traditions and cultural heritage. Bari’s favorite thing about Franklin is the annual Dickens of a Christmas festival because “there isn’t a better way to get into the holiday spirit! It is a tradition for my family and one that we genuinely love.” We are grateful for Bari’s commitment to supporting tourism and sharing the stories of Franklin so they can be experienced by visitors for years to come!
