On this tour, we'll pay a visit to what was Ground Zero for one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. This is a trip back in time to three of the homes that stand to tell the tales of the epic battle of Franklin, Tennessee: The Carter House, Lotz House and the Carnton Plantation. All three of these beautiful mansions are unique examples of Civil War-era architecture, which house unique stories of heroism and war as well as antiques, bullet holes and the occasional cannon ball indentation! After exploring some of these impressive architectural monuments, have lunch on your own between tours of the homes in the historic downtown district of Franklin.

It was super interesting learning new facts of the Civil War, being there, it was touching, sad, unimaginable and a reminder of how evil times of passed and to see that history does and will repeat itself. History is not taught to our kids and it’s scary and sad for the reasons come from evil. God Bless America and We The People

Everyone should take this tour! It is incredible how the general public was drawn up into this battle, hiding in their own cellar. And seeing the bullet holes gives you chills. Our driver, (wish I could remember his name), was great. He suggested a great place for lunch and gave us interesting commentary on the city of Franklin. We enjoyed this tour very much and it was definitely worth the price. It was also very convenient to be picked up at our hotel!
