2 reviews One of the best historical tours ever. Our guide made us feel like we lived through it and both were so passionate We did both the Lotz and Carter houses across the street from each other. The Carnton house was a bit too far away for our allotted time but wish I could have done all 3.

I am not an extreme historian - just a casual every day person that loves history. This tour as I said was the best I have ever taken. They helped you get to know the family: made it personal. Not all facts and details. The house is beautiful well maintained and presented in a respectful manner.

The cost is only $10 and very much worth it. Jean was our tour guide and was wonderful. She really cared to accurately tell the story of the Lotz family and their experience during the civil war. The tour lasts about an hour and is interesting and informative.

We're not particularly history buffs, but this...

I live in Franklin and had no idea about the history. Our tour guide was Laura. She was awesome! Her passion for the history of the house made the tour that much more fun! I highly recommend also seeing the Carter House and the Carton Plantation. I would want at least 2 hours for each place. FYI- There are stairs...

Not only did he tell us about the house, he did an excellent job of telling the history of what transpired at the site and the lives of the individuals who made the site significant. If you enjoy history, and especially the...
