This Christmas light display supports a charity- FrankTown Open Hearts. Once through the gate, we kinda got lost- my wife drove over a traffic cone and killed it. Some creative person put a of thought into this display. For example, an English folk song, The Twelve Days of Christmas, stretched twelve days worth of displays of moving lights along the twisting road. Another, the Elf's Workshop, was an explosion of moving colored parts. Really beautiful. Can't forget the Wise Men and their big, glumping camels. There were these displays and a whole lot more. I recommend that everyone come to the Ag Center to see these lights...just don't kill any traffic cones like we did. Five stars for the Festival of Lights.

Just adding my voice to that of others who are fans of this local theater company. Venue is small…read morebut they make the most of it. We are constantly amazed at what they can do with the very small space! Kudos to the Stage and props folks! There are no reserved seats but every seat is close to the stage. A line usually forms out front ahead of time and part of the fun is meeting your fellow theater patrons. Every production we have seen has been first rate. They don't shy away from any genres either, musicals, comedies, drama, you name it! The talent that is active in this area is outstanding. After each performance, there is also an opportunity to meet, greet and thank the cast members out front of the theater. Last weekend, we were able to experience Guys and Dolls, a classic musical theater production and they did an incredible job bringing it to the "small stage". Well acted, well performed, the music was spot on and a big shoutout to the Costumer - those "period" clothes were perfect, right down to the broaches and earrings worn by the ladies. If you want to take in a show, you need to contact them early. Given the small space in the theater and the large number of season ticket holders, there aren't usually many available seats. Even better, become a season ticket holder (like we did!) and you won't regret it!

The venue is beautiful, is a perfect size to make you feel right at home. There is not a bad seat in the house! they have a lounge downstairs and a walk up bar in the back of the main floor for drinks. Wish they had a wider variety of snacks, but not a big deal! On top of all that, the ticket price is very reasonable. We invited our friends and they loved it to and are willing to drive from Murfreesboro to go to the Mulhouse with us rather than us come to Murfreesboro to go out there! Oh, and the people that work there are super friendly. This place is A Gem!

The staff was friendly and welcoming, offering help at every turn. The theater is small but well appointed, and I really think there's not a bad seat in the house. The performers were excellent, and the play was fun and funny (OK, hilarious!). We had such a good time we immediately bought tickets for another show.

First visit to Turner Theater in the Factory At Franklin for a performance of Crimes of the Heart…read moreby Studio Tenn. Very pleasant small (~300 seat) theater. Seating was comfortable and roomy, wider than many performance theaters. Sat on the third row (C), which has a railing in front, as it's the first row above floor level. At first that seemed nice, but the railing goes all the way to the floor, I suppose to prevent accidents, which makes for no legroom at all for that row. It's hard, even standing, to make enough room for others to pass, and I found it easy to get cramps, unable to move my feet at all. Looked like every other row did not have that problem, so just something to be aware of. There's a sort of "box seating" row on up high on each side. the angle might not be perfect for every performance, but it looked like a fun option to try for a future show. Was completely impressed by the quality of Studio Tenn's work. The set, staff, actors, lighting, everything was excellent quality and perfectly executed. Without exception, the actors were wonderful. A truly fabulous theatre experience. It's also so convenient to be in the Factory, makes for so many dining, drinking, shopping options before or after a show. On a Saturday afternoon/evening, the Factory was buzzing with activity. Parking is the biggest downside, there were cars wandering the parking rows just waiting for someone to look like they were leaving. We found it worthwhile to spring for the valet parking by Edley's and avoid that headache. Already planning for the next show. We're fans.

Of the 300 lasting drive in theaters in the country that they so proudly claim to be apart of (found that out while spending half the movie trying to figure out how to even listen to it) I am appalled they are still open.

Oh and let me not forget to mention their $4 small popcorn THAT CAME OUT STALE.

The guides are passionate, knowledgeable, and bring the house to life with stories that make you feel like you've stepped back in time. Elm Springs was built around 1837 by James and Nathaniel Dick, wealthy cotton merchants from New Orleans, as a gift to their sister, Sarah Todd. The property later passed to Sarah's daughter, Susan Kelso Todd, who had married Abraham Looney in 1844. Looney was a Maury County attorney and Tennessee state senator. When the Civil War began, he became captain of Company H of the 1st Tennessee Infantry, better known as the Maury Grays, and later rose to lieutenant colonel. His regiment included Sam Watkins, who would later write the famous memoir Company Aytch, one of the best-known firsthand accounts written by a Confederate enlisted soldier. (Such a GOOD book!!) In November 1864, Confederate General John Bell Hood's Army of Tennessee was advancing north during the Franklin-Nashville Campaign. Union forces under General John Schofield had occupied the Columbia area and established a defensive line stretching between the Mooresville and Mount Pleasant roads. As the Union army hurriedly withdrew from Columbia, buildings that might provide shelter or military advantage were burned--and some accounts state that Looney's home was deliberately selected in retaliation for his politics and military service. Local citizens pleaded for help! Confederate Brigadier General Frank C. Armstrong sent soldiers who extinguished the flames, allowing the house to survive when many others did not.
