Historical Markers

Since 1976 the Williamson County Historical Society has encouraged the placement of historical markers all across the county.

Other organizations contributing to this number include:  Tennessee Historical Commission (27), Brentwood Historical Society (13), Tennessee Civil War Trails (14),  Daughters of the American Revolution (6), Nolensville Historic Society (2),  City of Fairview (6), Sons of the American Revolution (2), Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County (8), Save the Franklin Battlefield (7), Capt. Ed Baxter's SCV Camp (3),  United Daughters of the Confederacy (2), Natchez Place Association (1), African- American Heritage Society of Franklin & Williamson County (2), and the City of Franklin (1). Collectively, we have made Williamson County one of the most celebrated in Tennessee.
