Those who love nature and mountain settings will love the wide array of outdoor activities offered in Franklin. Hiking, kayaking, whitewater rafting and fishing are just some ideas. If those options are not enough, guests of a Franklin vacation rental can also enjoy Franklin's annual festivals and Nantahala National Forest lands.Nantahala National Forest
Easily accessible from your cozy Franklin cottage is the scenic Nantahala National Forest, perfect place for mountain biking and camping. "Nantahala" is a Cherokee Indian word meaning "Land of the Noonday Sun" as in some parts of the forest the sun only reaches the ground at midday. This beautiful park is full of waterfalls and scenic campgrounds perfect for a family picnic.Franklin Folk Festival
One of the best ways for Franklin lodge guests to learn about North Carolina's past is by attending an annual Franklin Folk Festival. Held in one weekend of July, the festival gives tourists an opportunity to experience the mountain life from the time when Franklin was established, 150 years ago. Milking cows, shingle splitting and quilting are just some of festival's activities. In the evening tourists can enjoy a cornbread and ole' timey pinto beans supper and some good mountain music.The Sheffield Mine
If you are staying at a Franklin NC rental, visit the nearby Sheffield Mine. The mining history near Franklin dates back to 1870 when companies began mining corundum. Nowadays tourists can visit the Sheffield Mine and find their own ruby or sapphire to take home with them. The mine staff gives visitors a special wooden bucket to collect their treasures. Once you picked your favorites, you can turn them into a nice piece of jewelry with the help of Franklin's artisans.The Nikwasi Indian Mound Once a center of a thriving Cherokee village and home to generations of Cherokee people, the Nikwasi Mound can now be found in the center of Franklin. Originally crowned with a large townhouse, the mound held the ever-burning sacred fire and was home for immortal spirits. Today it can be seen from the street but to truly appreciate its grace and size, tourists should stand at its base. Book a Franklin cabin rental and learn all about Cherokee heritage.
Scottish Tartans Museum
One of centers for the Cherokee Heritage Trials, the Scottish Tartans Museums stands on the East Main Street in Franklin where Scots used to live in the early 1700's. The main exhibit of this fascinating museum displays the story of the tartan over the past two thousand years. It also presents the history of the first Scottish settlers in Macon County as well as their relationship with the Cherokees. Stay at a cozy Franklin NC rental and learn all about the North Carolina's history.Rentalo certified & recommended by:
