Franklin
Franklin County has a long and deep history, being one of the oldest counties in the state. It is rich with natural wonders, most notably Phil Campbell’s Dismals Canyon National Natural Landmark, home to stunning geological formations as well as the fascinating “dismalites,” larvae of the fox firefly that glow in the dark. For the more historically minded, the Red Bay Museum in Red Bay offers visitors exhibits on town and county history, with special emphasis on country music superstar Tammy Wynette, who spent much of her childhood in the town.
