Town
Franklin
Franklin is best known as the Fluorescent Mineral Capital of the World, and the Franklin Mineral Museum is the natural starting point for anyone curious about that mining history and those glowing rocks. Beyond the museum, this small Sussex County town offers a mix of places to stay and play, including The Irish Cottage Inn and Black Bear Golf Club. Here are the 3 spots we recommend around Franklin.
