This website is dedicated to those who have made Franklin their home through the years and to rebuilding Franklin after the devastating tornado that struck May 4, 2003.  

There were approximately 217 families in Franklin with a population of about 476.   Approximately 1/3 of the homes were completely destroyed by the storm as well as many more sustaining major and minor damage.    The tornado came directly through the middle of the town destroying the U.S. Post Office and the Community Center along with the homes.
