Step back into the “good ol’ days” and relax in our comfortable restored 1840’s house within Jonesborough’s Historic District. Just a short four-minute walk to the center of downtown, you can experience warm southern hospitality, enjoy our front porch rocking chairs, and prepare to re-visit the past by touring, shopping, or taking in the sights of Tennessee’s Oldest Town. Helpful advice for trip planning is always available. Franklin House has wireless internet throughout.
Born and raised in New Jersey, we began to visit Jonesborough in 1982 for the Storytelling Festival and became enamored with the town and its residents. We bought and started restoring an 1840’s house in 1990 and became full-time Jonesborough residents in 1995, officially starting Franklin House Bed & Breakfast in 1997. We look forward to having you stay with us and enjoy our home in Jonesborough and our delicious full breakfast.
