Meet the Business Owner

Margie T.

Business Owner

I’m Margie Thessin, Franklin on Foot’s owner. I founded Franklin on Foot in 2003 after years of leading walking tours for elementary school field trips. I love history and know how to make it interesting – entertaining even. I lead tours of any size – from 1 person to 100. I have a background as a lawyer but gave that all that up for my career walking Franklin’s streets.

Check out my books: Ghosts of Franklin, Tennessee’s Most Haunted Town and Lizzie’s War.

I’m from Franklin. I really wanted to like the ghost tour. I was so excited to go especially since I grew up there. But it was really more of a history tour with more standing around than walking. Our guide who is also the owner basically retold conversations she had had with other people who had ghost stories. Sadly there were no real compelling or moving ghost stories. Can’t speak for the other tours but I’d recommend saving a ghost tour for another company. If you ever go to Charleston or New Orleans… Now they know how to tell ghost stories!

ghost tour I have ever done and now I’m hooked! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had pictures to go with some stories. It also helped to tour the houses (Carter and Carnton) before so we had some background knowledge.

This is more about the History of Franklin if you want the History its great but nothing haunting. Boring if you have teenagers.

We did the walking food tour of Franklin. Lots of fun and great value. Our favorite stop was Gray’s but enjoyed all of the stops. I plan to take all my out of town guests on this tour.
