Hil & Alene Kiesel have lived many places throughout the United States, but never had they visited anywhere as special as Franklin. The area’s natural beauty, peaceful lifestyle and temperate four-season climate combine to create an unparalleled vacation destination – and an even better place to live.

Whether they’re playing tennis, doing some gardening or fishing for a prize catch, Hil & Alene will tell you that for true outdoor enthusiasts like themselves, there’s nowhere to match the year-round beauty and lifestyle of the Franklin area. Living in an area that has given them so much has inspired Hil & Alene to take an active interest in giving back to the community. As active members of the Rotary Club, Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus, the Chamber of Commerce and the Garden Club of Franklin, Hil & Alene take their roles seriously as ambassadors to this wonderful part of the world.

“Finding this community has been like a dream come true for us,” Hil says. “We feel like it has given us so much, we could never give back as much as we’ve received.”
