Park at Harlinsdale Farm

“My father and uncle never wanted to see Harlinsdale Farm subdivided. They knew that the farm was too valuable to many in Franklin who enjoyed it as a farm, to do so. The Land Trust for Tennessee made it possible to preserve the nearly 200 acres for the future population of Franklin to enjoy for generations to come. What they and their children had enjoyed during their lifetime was made available through The Land Trust for everyone to enjoy.” - Clay Harlin

Park at Harlinsdale Farm – Franklin, TN

Harlinsdale Farm has been called the most significant historic farm associated with the modern Tennessee walking horse industry. Today, the land serves as a City of Franklin Park and is an important gathering place for residents and visitors alike. The Land Trust for Tennessee partnered with the City of Franklin to ensure this important community gathering place will remain protected.

About The Park at Harlinsdale Farm

W.W. Harlin established the farm in 1933. As famous as the farm itself is its prize stallion, Midnight Sun, that was bred and raised on the farm. This famous horse became the first repeat World Grand Champion.

From the 1940’s until the early 2000s, the farm served mainly as a breeding operation, run by the Harlin Family. The park, sold by the family to the City of Franklin in 2007, is now open to the public and is the backdrop for Franklin’s highly-regarded Pilgrimage Music Festival. The park also hosts professional arena polo matches and instruction, horse shows of all kinds, and other community events. The Park is also supported by Friends of Franklin Parks.

From the Ground Level: Conserving Harlinsdale Farm

The Park at Harlinsdale Farm is one of multiple public parks The Land Trust for Tennessee protects with a conservation easement.  In 2007, the Harlin Family sold the farm to the City of Franklin, understanding that the property would be developed as a park while maintaining and protecting its equestrian history.

The sprawling farm includes several valleys and natural springs and is protected by a conservation easement through The Land Trust For Tennessee, which means it will always be farmland.

Every drop of milk that’s produced on our farm is derived from the natural forages that our goats enjoy on the farm. Our cheeses have distinct flavor that is due to the unlimited pasture grazing and special care our animals receive. 

Every animal here on our farm has a name, a personality and a place in our family

Noble Springs goat cheese is currently available at numerous retail locations and restaurants in the Greater Nashville Area. To find the location nearest you check out FIND US.

WELCOME TO HEIRLOOM FARM

It is our goal to be the best stewards of this beautiful land and to share our farming practices, knowledge, and experience with our community. 

​Heirloom Farm was created out of a passion for bringing people together and sharing good food, fresh flavors, and artisanal ingredients.

We are a small, family-owned and operated farm located in the beautiful countryside right outside Leiper's Fork in Franklin, Tennessee.

We consider ourselves a small produce and flower grower, an artisanal homestead, and a teaching farm. We want to fully experience the growing of food and want the process itself to be artful and fulfilling.

Our farm works in cooperation with nature by not only supporting but also revitalizing the health of the Earth. Everything we produce is grown in an atmosphere of environmental responsibility as well as a love for life and nature.

FARM FRESH PRODUCE

Come see us at the Farm and check for pop-up markets.

Stay tuned for future events and watch for workshops and classes as they become available in 2024!

This Small City in Tennessee Just Got a Luxury Farm Resort — Here's a First Look Inside

Southall is now open in Franklin, Tennessee, just outside Nashville — and we got a first look inside.

Elizabeth Rhodes is a special projects editor at Travel + Leisure , covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products. Originally from South Carolina, Elizabeth moved to New York City from London, where she started her career as a travel blogger and writer.

Just outside the charming small city of Franklin, in the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee, Southall has officially opened, and we got a first look at the new farm-focused luxury resort . Surrounded by old-growth forests and picturesque pastoral landscapes on 325 acres, the resort is a destination in itself, providing guests with the opportunity to explore the region’s agricultural customs, local flavors, and natural beauty through farm-to-table dining, an extensive menu of activities, and a modern take on Southern hospitality.

Courtesy of Southall

At the heart of the property, The Inn offers 62 guest rooms and suites, plus there are more than a dozen cottages nestled in the rolling hills overlooking the estate. All rooms have oversized soaking tubs and local artwork, and some come with their own fireplace. Arbor Cottages have an upscale tree house feel with a large porch — perfect for sipping hot apple cider while taking in the view — and huge in-room copper tubs. One- and two-bedroom Hillside Cottages feature screened-in outdoor seating and ample space for spreading out. The Inn and the cottages provide a sophisticated take on the farm aesthetic with a modern exterior designed by 906 Studio Architects, and interiors designed by IndiDesign include wood-burning fireplaces, exposed wood beams, lots of windows to bring in natural light, and whimsical woodland-inspired touches.

If the Inn — home to Sojourner and Mary Amelia restaurants and The Spa at Southall — is the heart of the resort, the farm is its soul. Southall prides itself on curating an authentic seed-to-fork experience, with tours and classes revolving around the land. Even though the hotel has just opened to guests, the team has already been working for years, cultivating crops and creating a sustainable farm that can offer fresh produce — including unique heirloom varieties that you might not see at your average farmers market — for the kitchen to use in their seasonal dishes.

On the property, there's a 2,000-tree apple orchard, hydroponic and traditional greenhouses, terraced kitchen gardens, large-format gardens, a seed-saving program, and acres of land for foraging wild plant species. An apiary is home to millions of bees that help pollinate the farm and provide delicious, award-winning honey that's incorporated into dishes at the restaurants. The Jammery is a certified canning kitchen, where produce is pickled, dehydrated, jammed, and preserved to extend the year’s harvest and add even more local flavor to the meals offered on site. And farm tours, cooking demonstrations, honey tastings, apple picking, gardening classes, forest bathing, and more allow guests to experience nature — and the natural beauty and bounty of Middle Tennessee — in unique ways. 

After spending a day touring the farm, seeing the resident bees, and trekking the hills, the experience comes full circle thanks to the culinary program created by executive chef Andrew Klamar and senior vice president of culinary and agriculture Tyler Brown. Sojourner is the resort’s all-day-dining outpost. In the morning, there are fresh egg dishes served alongside country ham and grits, homemade pastries, apple pancakes, and more. Cocktails inspired by local flavors, and dishes ranging from veggie-focused to rich and meaty, reflect the farm’s harvest and Middle Tennessee culinary traditions. Mary Amelia is the signature restaurant, opening in the coming weeks, slated to serve a multicourse menu that honors those farm-grown ingredients. 

Of course, nourishment goes beyond the farm-to-table food and beverage program to include meaningful experiences and wellness offerings that give guests a wonderfully relaxing, educational, and luxurious getaway. A 15,000-square-foot spa offers ingredient-driven treatments using products from brands such as Seed to Skin and Naturopathica. It's also home to a gorgeous outdoor relaxation area with a heated mineral pool and lounges overlooking Lake Mishkin, the pond at the center of the property, named for the founder, Paul Mishkin. The spa even includes a sauna, steam room, and two relaxation rooms, and the Lennon Poppy Salon is the place to go for hair, nail, and makeup services. 

Other on-site experiences range from thrilling (falconry, mountain biking, and a ropes course) to peaceful (sound bath meditation, yoga, and morning hikes), just to name a few. Apiary tours offer an enlightening look at the world of bees, their impact on the farm ecosystem, and the lessons we can learn from them. And two pools, a picturesque hilltop overlook, and water activities like fishing and kayaking on Lake Mishkin all add to the bespoke country experience.

And while you certainly won’t run out of things to do on property, the bustling honky-tonk bars and boutique shopping of Nashville are just a short drive away, and the charming city of Franklin — with its postcard-perfect main street dotted with local shops and restaurants — lies even closer. 

Southall is now accepting bookings, and room rates start at $839 per night. For more information, visit southalltn.com .

Our property is home to approximately 4+ million honeybees which live among our 7 apiaries. Busy at work from the first blooms in late winter until the last buckwheat cover crop blossoms in summer, these pollinators are vital to the health of the farm, increasing harvest yields on a range of crops. They also produce our award-winning honey, which was recognized with the Good Food Award for Best Honey-Southeast—considered the top honor in the country for craft producers and farmers—twice. We only harvest the honey after two seasons of flavor profiles have been captured. It’s worth the wait. Working to reverse the trend of bee decline, Pollination Program Manager Jay Williams and his team share their love and knowledge of these invaluable creatures with guests, providing a look inside a honeybee hive and revealing the essential role honeybees play on the farm.

8 Exciting Kid-Friendly Things to do in Franklin, TN

F ranklin, Tennessee is a city that’s rich in history and quaint, Southern hometown charm. It’s one of the wealthiest cities in the US, but there is nothing pretentious about it.

We visited this charming city on a road trip and we quickly discovered there were plenty of things to do in Franklin to make it worth stopping off at for a few days.

I knew it would be a cute Southern town full of charm, but I didn’t realize how much there was to see and do here.

In this guide, we’ve shared some of our favorite attractions in Franklin TN and what you can do on your visit there.

1. Do a Civil War Home Tour at Carnton House

2. visit downtown franklin for boutique shopping, 3. have lunch at the factory, 4. explore leipers fork, 5. drive over the natchez trace parkway bridge , natchez trail parkway.

• 6. Attend Open Mic at Puckett's Grocery

7. Franklin Drive Thru Safari

8. franklin farmers market, final thoughts, pin to save on pinterest, things to do in franklin tn.

I highly recommend you start your day in the city of Franklin on a civil war tour at the Carnton House. My Dad is a major history buff, especially around Civil War battles (we worked in a visit to Gettysburg because of it), but he hadn’t heard of the battle at Franklin, one of the bloodiest of the Civil War.

The Carnton house was a federal style residence and the home the home of the wealthy McGavock’s. President Andrew Jackson was once a guest in the house.

The guided tour shared the life of the McGavock family, their house and the trauma they went through in attending to the wounded, cleaning up the horror, burying the dead, and then trying to survive after the war was over as they lost a large amount of their wealth.

We learned that on Nov 30th 1864, the community of 750 people were swept into the middle of a massive frontal attack on the Federal position by Gen John Bell. It was a charge bigger than Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg, a fact my Dad couldn’t get over.

The right wing of the Southern army moved past Carnton. Can you imagine sitting in your living room and seeing thousands of soldiers suddenly marching past your window?

The area around the house was under heavy fire for five hours leaving nearly 10,000 casualties: 2,000 dead, 7,000 wounded and 1,000 missing.

Carnton House became a field hospital which housed the first of the wounded. There were 300 wounded soldiers inside the house and several hundred others spread across the grounds and bodies of confederate generals were laid out on the back porch.

Our passionate and informative guide took us up to the bedrooms, which had been recreated to show what it was like during the battle as surgeons stood by windows to take advantage of us much sunlight as they could while they amputated limb after limb.

Blood stains can still be seen on the wooden floorboards. One extra large puddle in the corner shows where the limbs would have been piled high.

We heard stories of the wounded begging to be put out of their misery. It all felt so very real and distressing.

After the tour you can roam around the property to see the beautiful family garden, the slave house and springhouse, the battlefield area and the military cemetery.

The confederate cemetery was created to be the final resting place of nearly 1500 killed during the Battle of Franklin. It’s the largest private Confederate cemetery in the US.

We weren’t sure how we’d go for time so missed the Carter House, which tells the story of another family affected by the Civil War. We all wished we did do it as we enjoyed this one so much.

Learning about the Civil War history here is one of the best things to do in Franklin, TN.

Check out this tour of Carnton House, Carter House and Lotz House in Franklin where you can explore the Civil Rights history of this Tennessee town.

We started with a coffee at Frothy Monkey after recommendations from a couple of people that was the place to go for a good coffee. They weren’t wrong. It had that Southern way of asking you to sit and chat for awhile.

But not for too long as we couldn’t get out to enjoy one of the most charming downtown streets we’ve discovered so far in the US.

Downtown Franklin is known as America’s favorite street, so has to be high on your list of things to do in Franklin, TN.

Downtown Franklin is a 16-block National Register district mix of historical and modern charm. It’s Main Street has antique shops, gift and book stores, trendy boutiques, art galleries, and Southern homes.

Our first stop was Magpies, a boutique store for girls aged 5 to pre-teen. The clothes, accessories and bits and pieces were stunning – bright, cheerful and stylish.

Craig’s parents had given the girls money to spend so they were delighted to choose an outfit each to buy.

It was a gorgeous store and probably the girl’s favorite on our USA road trip (apart from American Girl Doll that is).

Don’t miss White’s Mercantile, which is owned by Holly Williams, daughter of Hank Williams, Jr. You’ll find all things southern in this store.

You’ll also find the Franklin Theater, which is an iconic spot to get your classic marquee photo, or even perhaps see a show, if you stay in Franklin for longer than a day.

It’s a restored movie house which now hosts movies, live music and live theater.

The owners of Landmark, a book shop on Main Street, were the inspiration for author Karen Kingsbury’s New York Times best selling book, The Bridge, which also became a Hallmark movie of the same name.

The building itself is also one of the oldest in Franklin, and was where Andrew Jackson paid his soldiers after they returned from the Spanish American war.

Be sure to stop into the Franklin Visitor Center. They have guitars and banjos on the wall you can sit down and play. I loved jamming with the girls in this space.

Not far from Main Street is The Factory at Franklin , which is 11 depression-era factory buildings that have been renovated to house restaurants, art galleries, working artisans and storefronts that showcase local culture.

It’s listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a more culturally immersive and interesting than a visit to a traditional mall.

We dined at Mojo Tacos , a Mexican restaurant inside The Factory. It’s a super cool Taco Shop, that’s casual and has quick service. I love the bright and colorful in design.

The tacos are fresh and innovative with flavors like adobo chicken, Korean cauliflower, and Tennessee style like hot chicken, braised pork, and slow-smoked brisket.

If you have time after lunch, you may want to stop at Third Coast Clay, where you can create clay art pieces to take home.

Or pop into Five Daughter’s Bakery for a donut treat!

Not far from Franklin is Leipers Fork, the home of musical legend…Justin Timberlake. There were other famous musicians to have been born in or moved to Franklin and Leipers Fork. Miley Cyrus was born in Franklin, Chris Stapleton moved to Leipers Fork in 2017, and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill own a farm outside Leipers Fork.

Apparently, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman live out here, and we did have eyes peeled in case we ran into him (we didn’t).

Of course, you’re more likely to bump into them in Los Angeles than Leipers Fork these days, but it’s still cool to see how such a quaint, small town can harbour so much creativity.

Located just 10 miles from Franklin, it’s a haven for musicians who want to live a quiet, inconspicuous life.

Leipers Fork is not just a haven for musicians, but creators of any kind. It’s obvious by the row of galleries alongside the very small and cute country town main street.

All shops and roads lead to Puckett’s Grocery, where an eclectic group of people in cowboy hats, and boots, and summer dresses sit around petrol bowsers chatting, smoking and quietly laughing.

There’s time in Leiper’s Fork to just enjoy the simple things – creating and connecting. For the art lovers, Leipers Creek Gallery displays art pieces by local and regional artists.

Behind Leipers Creek Gallery is the “Lawn Chair Theater” where there is a stage overlooking an open field. Movies are hosted here every Friday nights during June, July and August.

Bring your picnic blanket, lawn chairs and the kids for a great evening out. They sometimes have concerts as well.

Check the Facebook page for schedules and news about some amazing events!

Don’t miss the David Arms Gallery. I loved sitting in the chair soaking up the relaxed atmosphere, watching Savannah play near the window with the light dancing around her, listening to classical music and enjoying the masculine energy of the space and art.

This one is more for the men, but definitely a space where women for once can just sit and wait until their men have finished shopping.

If you have time after your shopping on the main street of Leipers Fork, you can take a short 20 minute drive along the Natchez Trail Parkway starting at the Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge. (on our best road trips in the USA and Spring break destination ideas for families)

It’s a spectacular double arched bridge 107 feet off the ground. The views from here looking over the valley filled with gigantic mansions on the mountain sides is worth it.

Just north of the bridge there is a parking area with a view of the bridge and the valley below. Just south of the bridge is an exit ramp that takes you down to Tennessee Highway 96.

At the bottom of the hill there is a parking area with a view looking up at the entire length of the bridge.

The Natchez Trail l was an important travel route for Native Americans and early European-American settlers. Today the 444-mile Natchez Trace Parkway roughly follows its path and passes a mile away from Leiper’s Fork.

Leipers Fork is the only historic district on The Natchez Trail.

6. Attend Open Mic at Puckett’s Grocery

If you’ve visited Nashville, you’ve probably heard of Puckett’s Grocery. It began in Leipers Fork in 1953 and has since evolved into local stores located in Tennessee, including Franklin and Nashville.

It’s known for its live music, authentic Southern food- classics like the meat-and-three and slow-smoked BBQ – and its home grown feel.

At Puckett’s in Leipers Fork you can also get groceries and fill up your car. It’s been a community meeting point for over 60 years and still maintains that atmosphere.

It’s an eclectic mix of tourists, farmers, country music stars, and singer song writers. There’s nothing fancy on the inside. It’s dark and mismatched, but welcoming and friendly. There’s a buzz in here, especially on the night we visited, which was Open Mic night.

Their open mic night is legendary, think like the Bluebird Café in Nashville, and attracts talent from near and far.

Many of the big names in music live nearby, and many more of the song writers and producers do too. It is not uncommon for multiple Grammy winners to hop up on stage, along with newcomers and locals.

Music starts at 6.00pm and goes to around 10.00pm – 11.00pm. It’s okay to take the kids but you may not want to keep them there to the end. It was starting to get rowdy when we left around 8.00pm.

And if you can have a kid-free night, then I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun. Patrons spill out to the bowsers outside, chatting and laughing. It definitely has that vibrant local feel.

Want to see wild animals roaming freely without the cages you find in your typical zoo? Then head to Franklin Drive Thru Safari , where you can get up close to the animals without the need to interfere with them.

See exotic animals from around the world, from giraffes and zebras to lemurs. There’s also a petting zoo, reptile house, and baby animal room.

We love a farmer’s market. We always try to check them out whenever we visit a new place as it’s a great place to find fresh produce from the local region which you can then eat with a picnic.

The Franklin Farmers Market is the place to go if you want to find local produce, fruit and dairy, which have all come from local farms in the area.

The market happens every Saturday morning, from 9.00am – 12.00pm.

Use the map below if looking for a place to stay in Franklin, TN. We stayed in Nashville and traveld in for the day. I’d love to stay overnight in Franklin and explore more.

One thing we didn’t realize about Franklin is that it’s a gentle, amble kind of place. We didn’t need a lot of time to explore the city, and we actually had more time than we needed as everything is smaller than we realized.

Franklin, Tennessee is only about 21 miles from Nashville, so it’s easy to visit on a day trip from Nashville.

I would have loved more time there to dive deeper, and we’ll definitely make Franklin a stop when we visit Nashville again, because that place is always on our travel list.

Middle Tennessee rain totals: 8 inches fell in Sumner County, some areas still under flood warnings

Middle Tennessee was slammed with severe weather that resulted in at least one death and several injuries , some of them serious, Wednesday afternoon into Thursday morning.

A tornado ripped through Columbia as the rest of Middle Tennessee was hit with high winds, large hail and torrential downpours over the last 24 hours. At least two people died in Tennessee because of the widespread storm system, and while the brunt of the storm may have passed, flooding is still an issue.

"Most of the Midstate remains covered by Flash Flood warnings due to the excessive rainfall over the past 24 hrs . And as river levels rise, there will be some river flood products issued as stages increase above action," read the forecast discussion from the National Weather Service Nashville.

This comes after reports of half a foot to upwards of eight inches of rain were dumped on Middle Tennessee and other parts of the state, according to reports from USA TODAY and weather services .

Rain totals for Middle Tennessee communities

Middle Tennessee is a bit water logged at the moment. Rain fall totals for communities range to just under an inch to almost eight inches of rain in less than a 24-hour period. Here are some of the latest rain fall totals in communities in Middle Tennessee from the National Weather Service .

• Columbia: 2.46 inches
• Old Hickory Dam: 5 inches
• Clarksville: 5.13 inches
• Hunters Point: 5.94 inches
• White House: 6.09 inches
• Woodbury: 6.15 inches
• Orlinda: 6.39 inches
• Springfield: 6.57 inches
• Lebanon 7N: 7.07 inches
• Bethpage: 7.92 inches

Flooding in Nashville, Middle Tennessee

The National Weather Service issued a flood warning for areas across Middle Tennessee Thursday morning into the afternoon as areas along the Cumberland River began to hit flood levels. Areas still under a flood warning include:

• Cumberland River at Clarksville affecting Montgomery County
• Cumberland River at Nashville affecting Davidson County
• Cumberland River at Dover affecting Stewart County

The weather service also expects moderate flooding in areas along the Cumberland River including: Edenwold, Hermitage, Pennington Bend, Omohundro Water Plant, Nashville, Bordeaux, Briley Parkway At Cockrill Bend, Ashland City, Clarksville and Dover.

There is still concern about flash flooding in Middle Tennessee with the communities of Springfield, Greenbrier and Coopertown under a warning until 1 p.m.

What is flash flooding?

Flash flooding usually begins within six hours, but often within three hours, of heavy rain or mass amounts of water accumulating in an area, according to the National Weather Service.

This type of flooding usually happens very quickly and catches people off guard. It can be caused by a number of things, but is often due to extremely heavy rainfall from thunderstorms.

"The intensity of the rainfall, the location and distribution of the rainfall, the land use and topography, vegetation types and growth/density, soil type, and soil water-content all determine just how quickly the flash flooding may occur, and influence where it may occur," writes the National Weather Service .
