The purr of the spinning wheel and the clack of the loom sing of Franklin County’s textile artistry. Amid hardwood forests and a local legacy of furniture making, Franklin County artisans give a new voice to woodworking. In the jewelers’ hands, precious metals and gemstones come together as art and heirlooms. With farm-fresh produce, homemade jams, tantalizing baked good, locally produced wine, and world-class ice cream, the White Lightning Trail is a feast. Find the perfect landscape plants for your home at one of our local nurseries.

White Lightning artisans excel in sophisticated hand-blown art glass, detailed mosaics, and eye-catching stained glass creations. The region’s potters throw, cast, and hand-build useful wares and intriguing sculptural pieces. From colorful two dimensional art to the traditional mountain music, this area is sure to please your senses, stir your heart and move your mind.
