Stopped here on 150th tour. Important spot of battlefield. Glad to hear that land has been acquired for further preservation.

The restoration efforts in this area are very encouraging. The park is slightly off site of actual Gin but that area is rapidly being restored. Fascinating to see the progress being made on reclaiming the entire core battlefield area, including the Gin and Carter garden. If you have been there before you need to go back to see how much has been done to improve the area.

Just a small area where a marker is located. A stacked cannonball marker in the middle is not labeled, so a little more information would be helpful at this site.

I liked the park and the stack of cannonballs. Disliked that there was not much information other than a few brief signs; site was not well marked.

So there's a Noble Romans there and a strip mall and it is a little sad to think of all the men who died on the spot, including several generals. You still must go, you still must get a feel for the place AND be happy in the knowledge that soon all this urban sprawl will disappear and the place will be what it should be--a historic site.

For this point to be such a very important spot or site during the Battle of Franklin I almost didn't find it II Drove past it twice before I remembered it was somewhere near a pizza place. Never did see the spot where Patrick Cleberne (sp.) was to have been killed. Once I got home and looked it up on the Internet then I see it was in the corner of somebody's property on this little dead-end sort of street that bared his name. Had a small marker barely visable in someone's yard.No fencing, No abattis growth, nothing resembling what it would have looked like back then. A few black cannon balls in such a small area being called a park was laughable. Very disappointed with this stop.

This was the center of the battle. Cannon balls stacked and kept clean. The original gin stood across the road at the market. Check out the pictures.

The most disappointing thing about the Battle of Franklin site is that 95% of it has been overrun with development. This is one of the few places where you can stand where the actual battle took place. It is also near the Carter House and Lotz house, so I would recommend visiting it.

We were told the old Carter Cotton Gin, which was cannabalized during the fighting is being rebuilt, with the intention of returning it to working order. Another glimpse into the daily lives of the people this war took such a terrible toll upon.

There is nothing much to see here right now but you can easily see where Confederate generals met their deaths, marked by nearby posts with the name of the general on it. This battle cost the Confederates dearly.
