Nolensville

A Family-Friendly Haven Steeped in History

The historic 31A Trail passes right through Nolensville, a charming yet booming town east of Franklin. With its quaint historic district and close-knit community, Nolensville brings a nostalgic sense of home to all who pass through. Locally owned businesses abound here, including mom-and-pop antique stores, old-school toy and book shops for kids, and contemporary boutiques.

Plan a day trip to explore this Williamson County gem, and make sure you come hungry! Nolensville is the birthplace of the award-winning Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint and home to both a craft brewery and a whiskey distillery.
