P REAL MIDNIGHT SUNMidnight Sun is the most famed Tennessee Walking Horse

Grand Champion in the United States. The stallion from

Harlinsdale Farm in downtown Franklin quickly became one

of the leading sires of the Tennessee Walking Horse breed

and went on to become World Champion of the Tennessee

Walking Horse National Celebration in 1945 & 1946. He was

such a renowned champion that since 1949, only four horses

that have won the annual Tennessee Walking Horse World

Championship were not of the direct Midnight Sun bloodline.

Midnight Sun lived 25 years, 21 of which were at Harlinsdale

Farm. When he died in November of 1965, he was buried on

the farm at a gravesite that is still visible today.

This horse welcomes you along the fence line

at one of Franklin’s most historic places that

was the epicenter of the Civil War’s Battle of

Franklin just footsteps from the Carter family’s

farm office, which is the most bullet-riddled building still

standing from the Civil War.

The world’s most famous Tennessee Walking

horse, which this hunt is named in honor of,

called this place home for 21 years. Now, this

park welcomes world famous performers each

September. As you stroll down the main path towards the

barn, make a wish, and the horse you seek may well be right

in front of you.

You won’t find this horse dressed in his dapper

space, but this will be the most welcoming horse

as it is well-practiced welcoming Franklin visitors each and

every day.

this building was originally home to a 12-room

German Hospital in 1938.

This horse can be found lounging on the front

porch of a place that, while not actually a place

center for African Americans in the early 1900s.
