FRANKLIN, TN and THE FACTORY
FRANKLIN'S HOME PAGE
Franklin is a unique blend of history and progress. Since its
beginning in 1799, we have grown from a tiny, agricultural
community into a richly blended area with a vibrant artistic
community. There is much to see and do in Franklin, from a
Civil War battlefield, to a host of museums and antebellum
mansions, to our thriving downtown shopping area and the
Cool Springs Galleria mall.
Downtown Franklin, comprised of a beautiful 15 block historic
district, offers true Southern hospitality with a great American
Mainstreet and 200 years of rich history. Visitors will find
commemorative brick sidewalks, beautiful landscaping, lovely
Victorian architecture, and stunning renovated historic buildings
– all located in the heart of Franklin. Downtown Franklin offers
elegant shopping, restaurants, antique shops, a variety of
clothing stores, art galleries, professional services, and more.
THE FACTORY
Just six blocks away from downtown,
the NFI is conveniently located inside one of Franklin's
coolest places -- and the hub of its artistic community -- The
Factory. Built in 1929 and serving as a functioning factory
various things from stove works to bedding during most of the
20th century, the Factory has now been completely renovated
into a unique space for shopping, dining, entertainment, and
art. It's home to everything from candy factories and video
production companies, to a shop where you can make your
own pottery or paint pre-made pottery and have it fired! Check
out the site to see more about the kinds of fun events and
amazing shops you can expect to enjoy as a student at the NFI.
