Situated along the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrounded by two picturesque waterways, Franklin County is a scenic “land between the lakes” overflowing in natural beauty, outdoor adventure and storied agricultural heritage.
Outdoor fun, home grown music and artisan treasures are just a sampling of what Franklin County Virginia is all about. Regionally, Franklin County is the Eastern Gateway to The Crooked Road: Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail and home of the White Lightning Artisan Trail. Experience local jam sessions, discover the arts as you stroll along the streets of Historic Rocky Mount or visit the Blue Ridge Institute and Museum at Ferrum College, where you will learn about life and culture in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Our annual, family-friendly events include Moonshine Express, Franklin County Court Days Culture and Music Festival, Southwest Virginia Antique Farm Days, Ramble Weekend, Juneteenth, Franklin County Agricultural Fair, Blue Ridge Folklife Festival, Come Home to a Franklin County Christmas and more.
