Sips and Stories Happy Hour Tour At The Factory

Join a guided walk through The Factory's fascinating 95-year history, with a fun twist! A staff historian leads you through the halls and grounds, sharing stories about how this former industrial building became one of Franklin's most popular destinations. The best part? You'll carry along your favorite beverage from The Skylight in a portable cup as you explore, making this the perfect outing for adults who enjoy learning with a little leisure time built in. These tours run year-round on Tuesday evenings at 5:30 PM, rain or shine, and last about an hour. Your beverage is included, so you can focus on soaking in the history and enjoying the indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the property. Just plan to arrive ten minutes early at The Skylight Bar inside The Grand Hall, and wear comfortable shoes since you'll be doing quite a bit of walking.
