Save the Franklin Theatre is a project of the Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson County.
Founded in 1967, the Heritage Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization and member organization of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The group is nationally recognized as one of the most successful and largest preservation groups in the country.
The foundation began with a group of citizens with vision who wanted to protect the historic resources that make Franklin and Williamson County a special place. Its efforts have played a major role in keeping Franklin and Williamson County from becoming “Anywhere USA.”
Over the years, the Heritage Foundation’s accomplishments have included: saving historic buildings and landscapes; performing surveys and inventories of historic resources; nominating properties to the National Register of Historic Places; and advocating for preservation and sponsoring educational programs.
