About Us In the 1820’s, somewhere along a patch of grass at Linkumpinch Farm near present-day Franklin, Kentucky, matters of honor were settled with the firing of pistols. A man’s reputation was restored when a musket ball found its target. The area surrounding Sandford Duncan’s Farm soon came to be known as the Dueling Grounds. These days, Franklin is home to far more agreeable activities, like the crafting of premium, small batch Bourbon, aged in charred white oak barrels, to draw out a sweet, woody flavor all its own.

My husband and I visited Brights on a Saturday, and while it was busy, it wasn't crowded. They have a good variety of antiques and collectibles available. I really appreciate that they seem to moderate the 'junk' sellers, and there isn't a lot of yard sale quality stuff clogging the aisles and booths. This place is definitely worth a stop,but be prepared to spend some time inside. The place is huge!
