Franklin
If you are visiting the Cherokee Indian Nation that was once known as the “center of activity,” then make your reservation today at a Franklin, North Carolina bed and breakfast.
An outdoor lover’s dream, Franklin boasts hiking, rafting, canoeing, kayaking, trout fishing, and waterfalls. The Dry Falls allows visitors to walk behind its 75-foot curtain. Spend some time relaxing with golf, cycling, or horseback riding. Wildlife and wildflowers are a main attraction for photographers, with the mountain laurel and rhododendron so plentiful. Birdwatchers can catch up with the 135 species in the woods, while hunters track the deer and black bear.
After your trek through the wilderness, head on back to your NCBBI inspected B&B, for a nice shower before visiting the gem mines. These mines are rich in garnets, sapphires, and rubies. Don’t miss the Franklin Gem and Mineral Museum, as well as learning about the local Gem & Mineral Society, which sponsors a fantastic museum in the historic 19th Century jailhouse. Another historical site includes the Scottish Tartans Museum & Heritage Center.
You won’t regret choosing a local bed and breakfast for your NC Lodging, whether visiting all of these many attractions or the restaurants, shops, and arts & craft show. Music lovers won’t want to miss Saturday nights at the gazebo downtown for Pickin’ on the Square. See you there! |
