Franklin

As the County Seat of Venango County, Franklin city has a rich history dating back to colonial times, when it was the strategic setting of four frontier forts. But it’s more than the history that you’ll love about our town.

It’s more than the well-preserved Downtown, the charming Victorian neighborhoods, the standout festivals, the extensive bike trail network, the friendly town folk, and the excellent dining, lodging, and shopping opportunities in Franklin.

It’s the community spirit that has always made Franklin so special.
