Franklin County, Missouri
Franklin County is in the east-central part of Missouri. It’s where the Ozark foothills start to flatten out as you head towards St. Louis. The Missouri River cuts right through it.
This place has stories to tell. German immigrants left their mark here. You can still see it in the architecture and taste it in the wine.
Speaking of wine, the eastern part of the county is in the middle of Missouri wine country. Hermann, just across the river, gets all the attention. But Franklin County has got some hidden gems.
