About 17 miles from College Grove in Franklin, TN, this modern-day general store, WHITE’S MERCANTILE, is owned by Holly Williams, daughter of country music legend Hank Williams Jr. It is in the city’s busy historic downtown district, where other top spots include the Franklin Theatre – first opened in 1937 – and Gray’s on Main, a restaurant, bar, music venue and private club.
