The Franklin Theatre opened in the summer of 1937 when the marquee first illuminated Main Street. The downtown Franklin landmark closed in 2007 but the Heritage Foundation of Franklin, a nonprofit preservation group, stepped in to buy and rehabilitate the historic landmark. After three years of work, and an investment of more than $8 million, the historic Franklin Theatre reopened better than ever. It features classic movies and concerts from artists such as Little Texas, Jars of Clay, Mac McAnally and more.

"Shoppes every where and close to medical center, thats the
reasons we where their! I would like too thank, Anson Anderson and Dave Staples for being so nice, and answerd every ? we had!"
"Grace ann was a knowledgeable and authoritative guide. She brought the history of the place alive in a moving account of the poor Lotz family who were in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"History comes alive with an outstanding tour guide JT Thompson. Our group ranged in age from 18 to 81 and thoroughly enjoyed ourelves. Yes, even our 18 year old! JT's personal touch weaving mulitple stories of the battle, the family and the house made us "feel" what the Lotz family were facing durin..."g 1864 and beyond. We laughed, we cried and got an excellent educational experience. No one in our tour group asked questions because JT was chock full of interesting tales and to stop him from talking felt like it would be a shame. Well done Lotz House folks and good job saving that house from becoming a Lotz-O-taco's stand.
