FRANKLIN, Tenn. – Visit Franklin has added Thaddaeus Rhoades to its staff as Visitor Services Manager. Rhoades, a Franklin native, will oversee the day-to-day operations of the Visitor Center located in downtown Franklin and the staff that welcomes thousands of guests each year.
“Thaddaeus has the experience and education, along with years of local knowledge, that make him a wonderful addition to the Visit Franklin team,” said Visit Franklin President & CEO Ellie Westman Chin. “His commitment to friendly and informative customer service and desire to showcase his hometown will only continue to enhance the welcoming spirit we aim for every guest to experience while visiting Franklin.”
