Membership

A Community of Passionate Businesses

The Downtown Franklin Association and its members are dedicated to preserving the history and charm of our community, supporting small business, building collaborative marketing campaigns, and hosting signature festivals and events each year. DFA membership is open for businesses and building owners located in the 16-block historic district in downtown Franklin. When you become a DFA member, you are also automatically a member of its parent organization, the Heritage Foundation of Williamson County, TN.
