On down the road, watch for the 20-foot high and 20-foot wide “beehives” near Leadore. These “beehives’ are kilns used for creating charcoal used in the processing of silver and gold. The town of Franklin was settled in 1860 by Mormon Pioneers. Many of the senses in the movie “Napoleon Dynamite” were filmed in Franklin and nearby Preston.
