City & Culture
Frankfort is known as the "Gem City" and is also well known for its rail history - hence the name Nickel Plate. Our vibrant and diverse community offers original sculptures and works of art all within walking distance. The downtown square is home to a variety of small businesses, including restaurants, florists, a day spa, a furniture store, a bank and much more.
