Last weekend, we visited Gentry’s Farm in Franklin, Tennessee, for the first time. I had heard good things about it from other Nashville moms, but it far exceeded my expectations.
The farm is located in a beautiful area of Franklin, with a breathtaking view of rolling hills. It is a working farm and for that reason is only open to the public a few days a week in October.
Gentry’s has multiple playgrounds and play areas, plenty of pumpkins, a four-acre corn maze, putt putt golf, tons of farm animals, and more.
My favorite part was the hay wagon ride through the cow fields and past the historic buildings.
The farm has been in the Gentry family since the mid-1800s and is currently run by the great-great grandson and great-great-great grandson of Samuel Fielding Glass, Jr., the gentleman who began purchasing the land in 1848. His father had moved to Franklin in 1812 and started a hat making business.
Construction on the main house began before the Civil War and was completed several years later.
There are two log homes on the property that were built in the early 1800s.
Do you enjoy visiting pumpkin farms in the fall?
