The Battle of Franklin was the bloodiest hours of the Civil War. Your tour will take you to the Carter House, a modest farm house that was ground zero for this historic fight Civil War battle between the Union and Confederate Armies. Hear the stories of the civil war soldiers who fought and died in these fields, and walk amongst the buildings still standing while bullet-riddled walls testify to the savage nature of this civil war conflict.
You will spend time in the quaint town of Franklin to shop, eat and view historic sites on your own. You will begin to understand how the residents of Franklin, the Civil War town of 750 people, emerged from their homes on the morning of December 1, 1864 to find over 9,500 casualties.
You will then journey to the Carnton Plantation, ordered to be a Confederate field hospital by a Southern General: then offered as an eternal memorial to the Confederate soldiers by the Mistress of the house. The McGavocks and their two children were both victims and heroes of the Civil War as told in the New York Times Best Seller, "Widow of the South". The tour of the house and the narrative descriptions of the fateful day and the aftermath of the war will leave an emotional impression on every visitor to this Plantation.
