Our door will always be left open with an invitation to come in. As you look through this publication, you will want to experience for yourself what Franklin County has to offer.
Franklin County has something for everyone.
You may want to take a quiet ride through the rural countryside and visit one of the two covered bridges left in the county. A visit to the historic Metamora Whitewater Canal and take a ride on the Ben Franklin III through the canal or take a stroll through the many shops in Metamora. Then there's the beautiful Brookville Lake with camping, boating, skiing and swimming. Let's not forget the Franklin County Park for a quiet walk, camping or just a leisurely picnic. County government is proud of our part in making Franklin County a great place live and a friendly place to visit any time of the year.
