Description

Franklin Theatre opened in the summer of 1937. It survived over the next 70 years, but time eventually took its toll on the venerable movie house, and the doors closed in 2007 under the pressing of rising rents and the trend toward mega-theaters.
Enter the Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson County. Rather than lose the heart of Main Street, the 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 re-emerged better than ever with a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system.
