Franklin County Tourism

Tourism is an important component of economic health for Franklin County.

Attracting visitors from all over the world to experience our unique attractions, yearly festivals, fun holiday events, or just to experience the natural beauty of rolling hills or clean recreational waters.

Any dollars that are generated through lodging, grocery, gas, or retail goes back into supporting our community!

Every $140,726 of travel-related expenditures creates one direct job in Alabama. For every $1 in Alabama’s travel-related expenditures, the state retains a total of $0.33.
