Legacy
Tipton's farm has been preserved as the Tipton-Haynes State Historic Site in Johnson City, Tennessee.
Many businesses in the State of Franklin use that name to keep the legacy alive, such as the "State of Franklin Bank", based in Johnson City, Tennessee. One of the main thoroughfares in Johnson City is named "State of Franklin Road", which runs next to East Tennessee State University. The State of Franklin was mentioned in the History channel documentary series How the States Got Their Shapes as a one of the many "ghost states" of America.
In law school examinations (and occasionally state bar tests), a fictional "State of Franklin" is used as a placeholder name for a generic state, often the one in which the property of Blackacre is located. This way, variations in existing state law do not complicate the theoretical legal issues arising from the property disputes. By convention, Blackacre is located in Acre County, Franklin.
