Hey there! We are Kyle and Casey Wallace and we want to welcome you to Downtown Franklin, Tennessee! As both residents and realtors in this charming town, we are excited to show you what makes Franklin so special!
Founded in 1799 and named after Benjamin Franklin, this place has seen it all – from the days of the Civil War to shaping the Civil Rights Movement.
Let's take a stroll through history, starting with the iconic Carnton. This plantation isn't just a property; it's a window to the past. During the Civil War, it served as a field hospital and holds poignant stories from that era.
And nearby, the Carter House stands as another poignant reminder of the war's impact, preserving the scars and stories of that tumultuous time. These sites, along with the Downtown Square, where preserved buildings whisper tales of bygone eras, showcase the heart and soul of Franklin.
