Flat Abram Adventure

Where in the World is Abram Maury?

This Spring Break, take the Founder of Franklin on your next big adventure! Before there were airports, highways, or even the Tennessee state lines we know today, there was Abram Maury. In 1799, Abram moved to this area and laid out the very first plans for the Franklin Town Square.

Now, over 225 years later, we want to show him how much Middle Tennessee (and the rest of the world!) has changed. Inspired by the classic "Flat Stanley" project, #FlatAbram is your ticket to bringing local history along on your Spring Break travels.
