Fall is the season that sold my family on Tennessee, and this is the guide I wish someone had handed us our first October here.
Inside you will find my favorite pumpkin patches and fall farms, the festivals worth marking on your calendar, the prettiest foliage drives that start right in Franklin, small town day trips, spooky season picks, and my one perfect fall Saturday itinerary.
Everything is an easy drive from Franklin with 2026 dates where I could verify them. Bring the kids, bring the dog, bring your out of town guests. 🍂
