In this small village we are lucky enough to have the Franklin Stage Company, a free- admission theater. Check to see if a play is on when you're coming through town! Plus, on the lawn of the theater on Sundays is the Franklin Farmers Market. Also, there is the Franklin Railroad and Community Museum, where you can tour through an beautiful old passenger car and learn about the history of Franklin.
The village of Franklin has some wonderful spots to catch a meal. There is the colorful "Tulip and the Rose Café", which serves cuisine from around the world. For lunch, grab a sandwich at the lively café, "Yokel", or for those who prefer Italian fair, there's "Marshall's Pizza". If you are here on the weekend, be sure to stop in at "Good Taste", an epicurean food market. In addition to these food establishments, there is Blue Farm Antiques, right next door to the library. Kabinett & Kammer, a curiosity shop next door to GaryGraham422 (from the show "Making the Cut") All these establishments are located on Main Street. On Maple Street is "Botanical Treasures" a garden shop and on Center Street is "The Squires Tankard" a vintage clothing shop. (Check each establishment for hours of operation.)
