Located in the southeast portion of Virginia, Franklin is a town incorporated in 1876. Clay Street is one of its main thoroughfares, a charming area featuring beautiful homes and gardens, many of which are part of a Camp family legacy that began when three Camp brothers built their logging and paper operations. A stroll down Clay Street passes stately mansions as well as small cottages and is reminiscent of a time gone by. On this tour of five private homes, visitors will be greeted with a variety of architectural styles, exceptional millwork, art, beautiful antiques, and well-loved gardens. Each home is different and reflects the care and innovations of its owners.
