Our group travelled from Ohio to visit Franklin and Nashville. The Carter House, 152 years later still shows the scars of the horrific battle fought on the grounds during the Civil War.

Make sure and set aside time to read everything and look at the museum pieces. I wished I didn't have to rush to the Carton after this. There was a lot to read and see aside from the tour.

This house and the history was very interesting. There were a few other buildings on the property that had other stories about them. I would go here again. Our guide, I think Brad was very knowledgable.

Very interesting addition to the other home across the street. You need to see this one to get a full understanding of the scope of the loss during this battle.

Guide was informative and the history of the house was interesting. Downfall was not being allowed to take pictures and it got very tiring standing up for periods of time.

We spent about 30 minutes with them, enjoying their stories of the battle as well...

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Carter House, even with the rain. The tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about re telling the story of the Battle of Franklin. We visited the Lotz house first and will finish up tomorrow with the Canton plantation.

This was the first stop on our Franklin visit. Our docent, Olivia, was awesome! She knew her history, and especially the Battle of Franklin, inside and out. Made me ashamed I was sleeping in US History class in Junior high school!
