Franklin is a charming small southern town nestled in the Smoky Mountains and located at the far western reaches of North Carolina. We’re known primarily for being the Gem Capitol of the World but we have that and so much more to offer. If outdoor activities are high on your list you’ll have hiking, canoeing, mountain climbing, golf and tennis just to name a small sampling. If indoor activities are more your style you’ll love our antique shops, quaint downtown area and even a Harrah’s Casino just down the way a bit. So many of our visitors become a resident, we think that’s the best recommendation you can have!
