Franklin looks different after dark.

Join Franklin by Foot for an evening walking tour through historic downtown Franklin, where the polished version of local history gives way to the stories people kept whispering about.

Along the way, you’ll hear true tales of crime, punishment, scandal, tragedy, strange happenings, local legends, and reported paranormal activity connected to some of Franklin’s most recognizable places.

This is not a haunted house, a ghost hunt, or a jump-scare experience. Franklin After Dark is a story-driven tour rooted in real history, documented accounts, and the stories that have lingered long after the people involved were gone.

Some stories can be proven. Some were reported by people who believed them. Others have changed with every retelling. We’ll tell you which is which and let you decide what you believe.

Perfect for date nights, history lovers, paranormal-curious guests, true crime fans, and anyone who wants to see Franklin from a different angle.

By the end of the evening, you may not believe every story.

You probably won’t look at downtown Franklin the same way again.

Franklin’s stories are even better with a drink in hand.

Join Franklin By Foot for Boos & Brews, a spirited nighttime walking tour that pairs downtown Franklin’s ghostly tales, strange history, local legends, and old-fashioned town gossip with stops at local bars and pubs.

Along the way, your guide will share stories rooted in documented history, reported experiences, and the legends Franklin residents have passed down for generations. At select stops, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase a drink while enjoying the atmosphere of some of downtown’s favorite gathering places.

This isn’t a haunted house, ghost hunt, or pub crawl. It’s a story-driven walking tour with a relaxed, social pace—and just enough mystery to make you look twice at the buildings around you.

Perfect for date nights, friend groups, celebrations, locals, visitors, history lovers, and paranormal-curious guests.

Guests must be 21 or older. Drinks are not included in the ticket price and are available for individual purchase.

Come for the brews. Stay for the boos.
