Historic village in Oakland County keeps its rural charm amid growth

As part of the Detroit Free Press' ongoing series exploring Michigan communities, we're visiting the Village of Franklin, a southern Oakland County community that blends its 19th-century roots with modern suburban conveniences while preserving its small-town charm. Appeal: Tucked among Oakland County’s busy suburbs, the village that's also just called Franklin is known as “The Town That Time Forgot.” The community has maintained a semi-rural atmosphere with narrow, winding, tree-lined roads, wooded lots and a small historic downtown, despite its proximity to major roads, shopping and employment centers. Along Franklin Road, 19th-century houses and storefronts recall the community’s early days. Locally owned shops and restaurants line the historic Village Center, where community events bring residents together throughout the year. “Village residents and elected officials share a commitment to preserving Franklin’s unique character while ensuring the community continues to meet the needs of the many young families who have chosen to call Franklin home over the past decade,” said Curt Lawson, chief of police for the Franklin–Bingham Farms Police Department. Beyond downtown, many homes are set back from the road on spacious lots. Wooded areas, wetlands and the Franklin Branch of the Rouge River add to the village’s natural setting. Facts:
