Tips from locals
Another area landmark in Franklin, has a rich tradition in gem mining for years and is known as the ‘Gem Capital of the World.’
Fun mining for gemstones! Family run mine in Franklin, NC. Great for the whole family.
This is a very hands on gem mine! Affordable kid friendly activity. Don't wear your best clothes, as you will most likely get a bit wet and a little dirty. You can either purchase a bucket of dirt already dug for you, or you can take the shovel and go scouting for gems on your own! I recommend digging your own.
