Ben Franklin offers the wide-open feel of country living with quick connections to the amenities of Cooper, Paris, and Commerce in the heart of Delta County. On calm evenings, neighbors chat along farm-to-market roads while sunsets stretch across big-sky horizons—a daily reminder of why people choose to put down roots here.
Families appreciate access to academics, arts, and athletics through the well-regarded Cooper Independent School District, with small class sizes and community support that make a difference in daily school life. Explore district programs and calendars via Cooper ISD’s official site. Nearby higher education options include Texas A&M University-Commerce, a regional hub for business, education, and STEM, and Paris Junior College, which offers workforce training and transfer pathways close to home.
Outdoors, you’ll find weekend plans are easy. Hike shaded trails or launch a boat at Cooper Lake State Park’s Doctors Creek Unit, then cast for sand bass and catfish on Jim Chapman Lake, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Anglers and paddlers also keep an eye on the growing recreation scene at Bois d’Arc Lake, while cyclists and walkers enjoy miles of quiet mileage along the Northeast Texas Trail.
