Marker: Death by UFO?

Not as hard to find as previously posted. It is in the parking lot of the Simpson Co. Tourism cabin, right across from the Southwestern Grill. There are also hand-painted murals of the history of Franklin, Kentucky on the fence beside the UFO marker.

You will probably miss it, but you will see the historical marker when you leave the Cracker Barrel. Do not worry, it is there.
