“Franklin House is a renowned historic property, designed in Georgian style, constructed in 1838 for Britton Jones, a former convict who became a Launceston brewer and innkeeper. Franklin House contains a collection of fine English-period furniture, including several colonial pieces and musical instruments. The National Trust in Tasmania was founded in 1960 to preserve and furnish this house, then known as The Hollies. The House offers guided tours to help students learn about the cultural traditions of the time. Franklin House's ample space is ideal for private weddings or corporate events. Visitors can also explore the house’s unique artefacts and gift shop, which contains local crafts and products.”
