After nearly a year of careful restoration, the historic Hayes House at The Park at Harlinsdale Farm is opening its doors to the public, offering a glimpse into the legacy of one of Franklin’s most iconic farms.

Starting Tuesday, May 6, 2025, the Hayes House will be open for free public tours every Tuesday and Thursday from 12 to 2 p.m. and by appointment, with a grand opening event during those same hours on Tuesday, May 6. The public is warmly invited to explore the home and celebrate its revival as a center for local history of the farm and the legendary Tennessee Walking Horse, Midnight Sun.
