Arrived around 10 a.m. on a Tuesday with my 4-, 3-, and 20-month-old. I was surprised by how…read morecrowded the parking lot was, but there was still plenty of parking available. The library opens at 9 a.m. (earlier than Davidson County libraries, which was nice to know). The children's section is completely separate from the rest of the library and even has its own bathrooms. I really appreciated this because I didn't have to worry as much about other guests. The kids area was very crowded, though there are a lot of different spaces throughout and we still could have found quieter areas if needed. Visibility between sections can make it a little difficult to keep track of multiple kids, but that's somewhat expected in a busy children's library. They normally seem to offer story time, though there wasn't one today. Instead, there was a coloring activity set up in the story time room. There were lots of activities for kids including puppets, trains, blocks, computers, and plenty of tables/seating areas. I also appreciated that snacks weren't allowed in the play area, which helped keep everything clean. I knocked off a star because the staff felt a bit quick to correct kids during normal busy-day behavior, even when parents were already handling it. That said, it was an especially crowded day, so I understand they were probably trying to keep things under control. Overall, this is a great library for young kids with a lot to explore and enough space to spend a good amount of time there.

A great library especially the children's section. They make it magical for the kids.read more

The marker reads, "Sherwood Green (1766-1840) came to Tennessee in the late 1700s from Warren County, North Carolina as a member of a team charged with surveying Revolutionary War grants. The group was headed by his father-in-law, Col. William Christmas, who became Tennessee Surveyor General and Entry Taker in 1803. Green, an active Methodist layman and Freemason, brought his family here in 1803. They lived in this two-story house, and owned 1,689 acres in the county. His remains, those of his wife, Martha Christmas Green, and other family members rest in the nearby cemetery." The marker was erected in 1996 by the Williamson County Historical Society. There is not really much room to pull over but I made do and no one yelled at me. [Review 1219 of 2024 - 534 in Tennessee - 22242 overall]

I opted not to trespass though you could park in front of the locked gate and explore. The marker reads, "Once five significant mounds marked the site of an ancient Indian village here. The mounds were between Little Harpeth River and a branch of the Boiling Spring. When the four burial mounds were excavated in 1895 and again in 1920 artifacts were found dating back to the Mississippian period of indian culture in Tennessee. Relics from the second excavation were placed in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. The ceremonial mound by Boiling Spring Academy was left undisturbed." The marker was erected in 1977 by The Brentwood Rotary Club. [Review 1224 of 2024 - 538 in Tennessee - 22247 overall]

This marker stands in front of the Williamson County and opposite Franklin City Hall. As with many…read moremarkers, it provides some context to other statues and monuments in public squares across the south. It is worth reading to remember the struggles that people went though for equal rights and to show the struggles that some exhibited to prevent them. The marker reads, "The Franklin Riot of 1867. Carnival of Blood. Several armed clashes occurred among political groups and the white and black populations after the Civil War. In May 1866, Memphis rioters killed about fifty. In July, a riot engulfed New Orleans, killing almost 240 including more than 200 U.S. Colored Troops veterans. Fortunately, Franklin did not experience such levels of violence, but on July 6, 1867, an incident in this square reflected the boiling tensions in the post-war South. On that day, several Republican candidates (called Radicals) made speeches in the courthouse without incident. Later, Joe Williams, an African American aligned with the Democrats (conservatives), spoke there. Some Radicals clashed with Conservatives, John L. Houseformer Confederate officer, struck J.C. Bliss, a white merchant aligned with the Radicals. Members of the Union League (a bi-racial group affiliated with the Republican Party) also were present, and tempers flared. The League members left after firing a few shots into the air, and the tension increased through the late afternoon, as Conservatives (also a bi-racial group) gathered in the public square and near John House's store. Just after 8 P.M., the Union League marched into the square, heavily armed. According to A.N.C. Williams, the Leaguers had informed House they would lay down their arms, but as they passed the Conservatives, a white Conservative fired two pistol shots into the Leaguers, who returned fire. White Conservative Michael Cody was killed, and six white and several black members were wounded. Twenty-seven Leaguers were wounded; most had been shot in the back. Dr. Daniel B. Cliffe, a Unionist, helped treat the wounded. United States soldiers arrived from Nashville the next day to restore order." The marker includes three photographs. There is parking in the square.

It's a hot day today and a plunge in a pool sure would be nice! The marker reads, "Opened in 1924, this was the largest outdoor concrete swimming pool in the South. Willow Plunge was owned, and for many years operated, by the Claiborne Kinnard family. Water was piped 1,023 feet from a spring to the willow-shaded double pool which measured 75 x 150 feet and had a capacity of 750,000 gallons. The water was treated by the latest scientific methods of purification and was pure enough to be used for drinking. In 1932 Willow Plunge was named one of the six best equipped pools in the United States. Additional features included a tennis court, 9-hole golf course, miniature golf course, football field, aviation field and lake. Willow Plunge closed in 1967." The marker was erected in 2001 by the Franklin Rotary Club at Breakfast and the Williamson County Historical Society. [Review 20063 overall - 419 in Tennessee - 1039 of 2023.]

No oven on, no candles lit, no burned bacon, I couldn't figure it out. They couldn't figure it out for a while so ended up pulling fire alarm and evacuating my whole building. Thought it might be wafting in from a neighbors unit. After they aired out my place, they closed up the door wall and front door and turned air conditioning unit back on (which they turned off as rooting around), started to smell and get smoky again. Due to the extreme heat here lately it was apparently overworked. They were so professional, kind and quick. And honestly, saved lives. Had they not gotten to my scene as soon as they did, the smoke could have turned into a fire fast. Thank you to the amazing firefighters at this unit! I have an extra love for you as my grandfather was a firefighter as well. You are amazing! Please know how much the public truly appreciates all you do.
