HISTORY
This building used to be the town drug store. Dr. DB Johnson and his son Dr. Sam Johnson were the proprietors, town doctors, and community pillars. The Johnson family was instrumental in building the Methodist Church up the street. The town of Franklin would not be the same without the presence of the Johnson family and their drugstore.
