Things to do
Franklin's historic sites battle for attention
During the American Civil War, the Battle of Franklin in 1864 was regarded as one of the bloodiest battles in American history, and the town has a trio of historic sites. Carter House became the Union Army's headquarters during that fateful day and is now history museum and State Historic Site. History buffs will love a behind-the-scenes tour of the house, or see the battlefield. Carnton House, a former plantation, was a field hospital during the battle, while Lotz House has a vast collection of antiques and art, plus guided tours and special events.

Weather
Franklin, my dear, I don't give a damn (as long as it's sunny!)
Franklin, Tennessee is a delightful vacation destination all year round. However, to see the town as its best, visit during the warmer summer months. The busiest time of year is July and August, when the days are dry and sunny, and temperatures reach highs of 85-90 degrees. If you want the place to yourself, then visit in fall, which still sees a fair bit of sunshine plus a wider choice of Franklin vacation rentals. The temperature starts to drop November through spring, and rain is not uncommon, although it's not a place for snowmen.
