Explore Franklin County

Named for Benjamin Franklin and founded in 1779, Franklin County
is located 30 miles north of Raleigh, making it convenient to the
metropolitan Triangle area while retaining its rural North Carolina
charm. The area offers its visitors a variety of activities, running the
gamut from skydiving and horseback riding to shopping and
exploring the county's many historic sites. The adventurer can enjoy
hiking and canoeing along the Tar River, while others may find a
concert or ballet at Louisburg College, the state's oldest junior
college, more to their taste. Whatever your preference, Franklin
County has something for everyone.
