Here are some things to do in our area.

1. Visit Carnton Historic Plantation.
Carnton is a national model dedicated to the preservation, interpretation and management of a Franklin, Tennessee house museum, historic landscape and Civil War battle site. We communicate the compelling story of how the November 30, 1864 Battle of Franklin and Reconstruction impacted and changed the families of the McGavock Plantation in the 19th century.

2. Visit Carter House
Built in 1830 by Fountain Branch Carter, the Carter House was caught in the middle of one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War on November 30, 1864.       This Registered National Historic Landmark is now open to the public and serves as a memorial to the Carter Family as well as the countless heroes in the Battle of Franklin. The modest brick home was used as the Federal Command Post while the Carter family took refuge in the cellar. You can see the evidence of over 1,000 bullet holes remaining on site, including the most battle-damaged building from the Civil War.
