Very well preserved and well-guided tour tells the story of the Battle of Franklin, and how it was the beginning of the end of the war. A must-see stop for Civil War buffs and visitors to Franklin.

This tour is l-o-n-g, and some in our party were getting antsy. The tour guide we had, as I imagine is true with all, was SO knowledgeable. We loved it - just don't go if you want a quick walk-through. If that is the case, just walk the grounds and look in the store.

Amazing, informative and entertaining tour. Learned about the Carter and Lotz family experiences on that fateful November 30, 1864. Being in the basement and seeing the names on chairs of the family members seeking safety was chilling. Cannot imagine the horror they experienced.

The intimacy of the tour guides cannot be overstated. Their grasp of the situation, and their ability to put it into today's values was wonderful.

The thought of what happened here during the Battle of Franklin, is simply horrific. The thought of what the children had to endur and what they had to see in the aftermath. The house with all of its bullet holes and the cannon ball hole, is just crazy. And the three out buildings that are still standing from that day are also all bullet ridden. The story here is just amazing.

They have done a great job interpreting this site and it's just getting better. You can see bullet holes and shell damage from 150 years ago and because of the constant work to get rid of modern structures around the battle line area, it's becoming easier and easier to interpret and see what happened that fateful evening. Franklin should be proud of this site.

While dealing with the ice and snow during a week long stay in Nashville in February, I took the risk of driving down to both Winstead Hill and then into Franklin to tour the Carter House. As I was the only visitor at at the Carter House at the time, I was treated by Mike, a most superb tour guide, to a one on one history lesson of the entire battle of Franklin. Walking through the house and around the ice covered grounds, and also using maps of the battle, Mike held forth for a good hour, keeping me spellbound for the entire time. I considered myself fairly well-read about the battle, but the intimate details and stories Mike provided were fascinating and transported me back to the time of the battle, almost as if Mike had been an on-site witness to the events he so well described. The inclement weather forestalled a walking battlefield tour, which I intend to take the next time I make it to the area, but the museum and tour of the house were more than worth the modest cost. Incidentally, the Battle of Franklin Trust is actively engaged in fighting the second battle of Frankilin, that is, the battle against commercial development of the the battlefield itself. They have already reclaimed several properties, with more being planned, to save for future generations to enjoy and to preserve the memory of the brave men who clashed on these grounds over 150 years ago.

Visited Franklin with my 15 year old son and this was his favorite stop. Tours seem to run frequently and we had no wait (and before we finished our tour another had started). Mike was an excellent tour guide and did a great job of engaging the adults, teen, and children on the tour. Mike said he also does battlefield tours and if we get back to Franklin I would most definitely do that tour. The house tour was about an hour and covered the overall battle, the experience of the family in the house, the experiences of the soldiers outside, and the history of the family. My son liked the review of the map of the battle and getting to see the bullet holes and cannon ball hole in the house. We also toured the Lotz house and Carnton Plantation the same day - if I could do it again I would have save the plantation for day 2 because we were too tired to check out the grounds there. If I had to choose just one site to visit it would be the Carter House.
