Frankewing, TN - This is the town closest to the crater center which is how craters are named. Although it appears to be located on Interstate 65 exit 14 it is not. It was a railroad town and is nestled back from the Interstate exit a little north and east. There is a sign off HW 64 going east toward Fayetteville. It has a post office.
The Post Office is the only thing still open in old Frankewing although is a lot happening at the Interstate Exit 14 which has Food, Gas, Motel, & Bank.
Frankewing was originally known as the Bradshaw Community. In 1909, the decision was made to bring the L&N Railroad through the small community. It was then renamed for Mr. Frank Ewing who had been instrumental in lobbying the railroad leaders to bring the tracks through his town. Frankewing thrived with the railroad. Stores and a post office offered many amenities to the local economy.
