About

Seven years ago, I traveled to Franklin, North Carolina, one of my family’s homesteads. There, I uncovered several stories about the people who lived there. Franklin, a small town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains, was full of vibrant people, places, and events. This site aims to introduce you to these individuals, their families, and some of the town’s lesser known stories.
