Reiki Attunements in Franklin, Tennessee
Franklin is a historic Williamson County town about 20 miles south of Nashville, famous for one of the most intact 19th-century Main Streets in America and for the brutal 1864 Battle of Franklin.
Once the center of a plantation economy, it is now one of Tennessee's wealthiest communities and a corporate-headquarters magnet along the Cool Springs I-65 corridor. It blends preserved Civil War battlefields and Victorian storefronts with a modern music-industry and healthcare scene. Before the Civil War, Williamson County was one of Tennessee's wealthiest counties and Franklin was the heart of a plantation economy. The area's first European settler, Scottish emigrant Ewen Cameron, built a log cabin nearby in 1768; before then roughly seven Native tribes used the region in the 16th-17th centuries, with the Cherokee the main permanent presence by the 1700s. Founded October 26, 1799 by Abram Maury Jr. and named after Benjamin Franklin, a friend of Dr. Hugh Williamson (the county's namesake); Maury reportedly wanted to call it Marthasville after his wife Martha, who insisted on 'Franklin' instead. The Carter House, a Civil War battlefield site riddled with bullet damage from the Battle of Franklin. Carnton (the historic plantation house that became a Confederate field hospital and is next to the McGavock Confederate Cemetery). Harlinsdale Farm, a historic Tennessee Walking Horse farm now a public park and festival grounds. Pumpkinfest is a Heritage Foundation fundraiser held downtown on the Halloween-weekend Saturday. 'Dickens of a Christmas' each December draws roughly 50,000 visitors with Victorian-costumed performers and period food. Mars Petcare opened its North American headquarters (a 'pet-friendly' campus on Ovation Parkway) in Cool Springs in 2019. Nissan North America has its U.S. headquarters in Franklin's Cool Springs area (about 1,550 local employees). Each lesson is self-directed, a complementary practice that leaves room for rest.
