We purchased the 3 attraction package that included 2 other sites as well and we highly recommend doing the same! The tour guide for this attraction was highly knowledgeable and what was particularly neat about this attraction was that they would take down the ropes and let you really walk around all over the house as part of the tour!...

We really enjoyed the tour of the Lotz house and hearing Mr. J T Thompson tell the story of the Lotz family. The home itself is very beautiful and the antiques are spectacular. We will definitely return to Franklin, TN and tour it again in the future. There is so much to see that you can't really appreciate it during... More

Unlike the other two historic homes in Franklin, this one i s primarily a home for an amazing collection of period artifacts. The porcelain collection alone is worth seeing. Add the china that three presidents dined on and the silver, and you have a very impressive collection. In addition, the history of the Lotz family, including the battle damage to... More

The house also has many antiques and relics worth checking... More

The tour was amazing here! The history behind these houses and the experiences of the families during the Battle of Franklin is very touching. Our guide, J.D., was entertaining and very knowledgable. By far the best tour I've done in a long time!

Wonderful visit after seeing Carter and Carton plantation. Jean was a very informative guide. Well worth the visit. Mr. Lotz and his family are fascinating.

This place is a great way for visitors to get to know the story behind the Battle of Franklin. It also compliments the tour of the Carter House across the street. I would recommend this tour to any Civil War or History enthusiasts.

This was the BEST tour of any historical home I've EVER visited! JT was our tour guide and also the Executive Director of the foundation. He knew more about the Lotz family than I know about my own! AND he kept you wanting more. All the guides are volunteers. When we asked if they took a gratuity, JT directed us... More
