May 11 Annual Airing of the Quilts Springtime has always meant that it was time for spring cleaning and the "Airing of the Quilts" and other bed linens. The tradition is still honored in Macon County. Locals participate by hanging quilts made by mom, grandma, or the other special women in life, on porch railings, fences, businesses and more.
Visitors are encouraged to travel all around Macon County looking for the quilts that are "airing", as well as for the quilt blocks that are a part of the Macon County Quilt Trail. Downtown Franklin will be alive with quilts and have a special celebration from 10 AM - 4 PM.
