Itinerary

  1. Stop 1

    20 min

    St. Paul's Episcopal Church is one of Franklin's oldest and most revered landmarks and has witnessed nearly two centuries of the town's triumphs and tragedies. During the Civil War, Franklin became the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the conflict, and the church found itself surrounded by the chaos of war.

    Though its walls have endured, many believe the memories of those turbulent years still linger. On quiet evenings, visitors have reported an unusual sense of presence around the historic grounds, as if the generations who worshipped, mourned, and sought refuge here never fully left.

  2. Stop 2

    20 min

    Located at Franklin's historic Five Points intersection, the White Building has been a familiar fixture of daily life for more than a century. The building originally housed a doctor's office before becoming a popular drugstore and soda fountain where locals gathered to socialize and share town gossip. Through decades of change, the structure has remained a community landmark, quietly observing Franklin's growth from a small Southern town into a thriving destination.

    With so many lives intersecting within its walls, it's easy to imagine echoes of the past lingering long after closing time. Some say certain buildings absorb the energy of those who pass through them, and if that's true, the White Building has had more than a century to collect stories.

  3. Stop 3

    20 min

    The Truett House stands as a reminder of Franklin's elegant past, when prosperous families built grand residences that reflected both their wealth and their place in the community.

    Like many historic homes in Franklin, the property has witnessed generations of joy, loss, celebration, and heartbreak. Over the years, stories have circulated of unexplained sounds, fleeting shadows, and an uneasy feeling that someone may still be keeping watch over the home. Whether these tales are simply products of imagination or something more, the Truett House remains one of Franklin's most intriguing historic properties - a place where the line between history and legend feels remarkably thin.

  4. Stop 4

    20 min

    Situated in the heart of downtown Franklin, the Shuff's Music in the Maury-Darby Building has been part of the city's story for generations. Named for two prominent local families whose influence helped shape early Franklin, the building has served various commercial purposes throughout its history.

    Thousands of residents and visitors have crossed its threshold, leaving behind countless untold stories. Historic downtown buildings often carry an air of mystery, especially after dark, when the busy streets grow quiet and the past seems closer than ever. Some locals whisper that not everyone associated with the Maury-Darby Building has moved on, making it a fitting stop on any journey through Franklin's haunted history.
