Franklin in Simpson County, Kentucky was the site of the Battle of Franklin in 1864 in which the Confederates lost more generals than in any other. Arthur MacArthur, Jr., "The Boy Colonel" fought for the Union forces and survived. It is conjectured that had he died, the life of his son Douglas, and the course of the Second World War, and indeed the world, would have been different, but that's a story for another day.
Franklin, the county seat, is located on exits two and six of the I-65. Nashville, Tennessee lies 45 minutes to the south. Bowling Green, Kentucky is 25 minutes to the north. But the city has much more to offer than just its excellent location. It is considered, with good reason, as one of 50 best small southern towns. If you're idea of quality living includes Southern cuisine, great bourbon, bluegrass, jazz and practicing the art of Southern hospitality, then Franklin is where you'd want to relocate to.
