Bring your own GPS device or use your smartphone to find the caches. Coordinates and instructions will be provided prior to the event, and we will be on hand to answer any questions and help get you started. This is a self-led event. You will need to bring small “treasures” to trade as the general etiquette of geocaching is ‘take a treasure, leave a treasure‘. Examples include small plastic bugs, toy soldiers, coins, colorful stones, keychains, kid’s meal toys, or other small trinkets.
*Attention scouts – – this event could help you earn your geocaching merit badge!

The Geocaching Event will start on the back porch of the Stoney Creek Barn and go across the creek and several acres of the farm. Geocachers should wear sturdy shoes and layered clothing depending on the weather.

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind local film experience that covers a historic event that occured here in Tennessee at Grinder’s Stand on the Natchez Trace!
Synopsis:
In 1809, Meriwether Lewis (of the famous Lewis & Clark duo) died of gunshot wounds at Grinder’s Stand on the Natchez Trace. Did he, as then-governor of the Louisiana Territory, commit suicide, as is widely believed? Or was his end far more sinister?
Entangled versions of the explorer and surveyor Lewis’ death at a remote Tennessee inn are imagined by his friend Alexander Wilson (Billy Slaughter, Mindhunter) during a tense encounter with Priscilla Grinder (Amye Gousset, The Card Counter) – the only witness to the American explorer’s final night alive.
The new historical thriller from writer/director Clark Richey brings together an award-winning cast and crew, including John Schneider (The Dukes of Hazzard), Sonny Marinelli (Entourage) and Evan Williams (Versailles) as Lewis, and took home both the Best Feature Award at the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival (Dubuque, Iowa) and the Gasparilla International Film Festival (Tampa, Florida) Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature.
The film is “Not Yet Rated” but contains: Adult language, sexual situations, violence, smoking.

Join us at The Franklin Theatre for a concert performance of the new musical JOHNNY & THE DEVIL’S BOX!

JOHNNY & THE DEVIL’S BOX is a jubilant new musical with one foot in the Georgia mountains and the other on the Grand Ole Opry stage. The authentically bluegrass score sets in motion a story that will stir the soul. Johnny Baker believes he is the best fiddler to ever live and aims to prove it. However, his pursuit of glory attracts the attention of another fiddler—the Devil himself—who aims to destroy Johnny and reclaim his rightful place in the Angel Band. With fame and fortune tempting Johnny’s pride at every turn, he must find the strength and wisdom to win a battle of the bows without losing sight of family, community and a heart-soaring romance. JOHNNY & the DEVIL’S BOX is a celebration of love, life and music that the world needs right now!

Amy Ray Band
2022-09-23 20:00 | The Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street, Franklin, 37064, United States
Amy Ray Band – The Franklin Theatre
A lot of artists defy categorization. Some do so because they are tirelessly searching for the place they fit, while others are constantly chasing trends. Some, though, are genuinely exploring and expressing their myriad influences. Amy Ray belongs in the latter group. Pulling from every direction — Patty Griffin to Patti Smith, Big Star to Bon Iver — Ray’s music might best be described as folk-rock, though even that would be a tough sell, depending on the song.
Ray’s musical beginnings trace back to her high school days in Atlanta, Georgia, when she and Emily Saliers formed the duo that would become the Indigo Girls. Their story started in 1981 with a basement tape called “Tuesday’s Children” and went on to include a deal with Epic Records in 1988, a Grammy in 1990, and nearly 20 albums over more than 30 years.
Rooted in shared passions for harmony and justice, the Indigo Girls have forged a career that combines artistry and activism to push against every boundary and box anyone tries to put them in. As activists, they have supported as many great causes as they can, from LGBTQ+ rights to voter registration, going so far as to co-found an environmental justice organization, Honor the Earth, with Winona LaDuke in 1993. As artists, they have dipped their toes into a similar multitude of waters — folk, rock, country, pop, and more — but the resulting releases are always pure Indigo.
Ray’s six solo sets — and three live albums — have charted even wider seas, from the political punk of 2001’s Stag to the feminist Americana of 2018’s Holler. Each effort seems to lean into her influences in different ways, whether it’s the Allman Brothers or the Carter Family. One album finds the Butchies on full blast, another features Alison Brown on bluegrass banjo.
Solo or duo, with a band or an orchestra, together and apart, both Ray and Saliers pour themselves into every performance, and their audiences still soak up every ounce of that generosity, spilling their own hearts and souls out as they sing along to every song. Theirs isn’t a fanbase; it’s a family.

The Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival – Franklin, Tennessee
Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival was inspired by friendship, history, experience and the desire to create an authentic music festival.
The Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival offers a diverse, renowned lineup of Rock & Roll, Americana, Alt-Country, Bluegrass, Jazz, Indie, Gospel, Pop & Blues. The festival has grown in its eight years to double down on the music programming, with six stages and heralded lineups year after year, and has expanded its cultural focus by showcasing hundreds of local artisans, restaurants, food trucks and makers that give context and authenticity to the Pilgrimage experience.
It serves great value and advantage to Pilgrimage that so many talented musicians and industry folks live in such close proximity. Pilgrimage always has surprises on stage that include guest appearances, acoustic performances, and unique pairings. Pilgrimage freely mixes genres and musical styles to create an intentionally diverse music experience throughout the day so you can see all of your favorites and discover new ones.
Pilgrimage has always presented itself as family friendly which means kids are welcomed and encouraged to experience festival culture at young age. Specifically, at the Lil’ Pilgrims Area with Grammy award winning producer, Ralph Covert, kids experience numerous activities, renowned artists, and are presented musical talent at a high level that has underscored a commitment to the “all ages” experience.
Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival is Saturday and Sunday, September 24-25, 2022, at the Park at Harlinsdale Farm in beautiful Franklin, Tennessee. Every ticket purchased supports MusiCares and The Friends of Franklin Parks.

When performances wrap and the lights come back on, guests can conveniently head back into the heart of downtown Franklin, within walking distance from the Park at Harlinsdale, to imbibe the best of the town’s bars and restaurants, retail shops, and great weekend lineup of nighttime shows and events.
