Great tour. Our guide Rusty was very knowledgable. His tour was more like the telling of a story of the battle of Franklin while walking through the home.

This is the famous Carnton Plantation where a famous Civil War Battle was fought where ten generals were wounded from both sides. It's the basis of the best seller book The Widow of the South. If you're visiting Franklin, this is a must see for it's history..one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War and it was basically set up as a hospital for all the wounded.. sad but a part of our history.

A visit to this Plantation is worth every minute - especially if you are interested in the history of the Civil War and how the plantation owner and his family helped the Confederacy during the Battle of Franklin in late 1864. Our tour guide took us through the plantation and included many details of how that battle affected the McGavock family that lived there. The McGavocks voluntarily allowed their plantation home to become a field hospital for the Confederate army and you can see the blood-stained floors from the many operations and amputations that occurred there. John McGavock then personally paid for the internment of many of the confederate soldiers making this cemetery the largest privately owned Confederate cemetery in the country. The tour takes about an hour and is worth every minute of it.

Amazing to visit this homestead and learn of the families plights during the Battle of Franklin. A real look into a most significant timein our country's history.

The enormity of it, and realizing that everything was done by hand by people just like you and me. The travails of the slaves was omnipresent, along with absence of things that we take for granted in our daily lives, such as mass communication devices, and cooking utensils, just to name a couple. See it. You won't forget it.

The history surrounding this place is incredible. From the house, with the blood stained floors, to the surroundings, including the confederate cemetery, is all just breath taking, and so awe inspiring to think of all that happened on November 30, 1864.

It is amazing to walk thru the home and the grounds. You can feel the history all around. We have also attended a wedding on the grounds. Just beautiful. The home has been well preserved and Is an important piece of american history

It's even better than the famous bloodstains on the floors upstairs. They have done a wonderful job investing in this extremely historical home, grounds and confederate cemetery. Don't miss this for the historical home and historical interpretation.

Excellent place to bring children to share history. They can see the blood-stained floors from where this plantation home became a hospital during the Battle of Franklin. Then walk to Confederate Cemetary to see where members of the family who lived here, as well as, hundreds of Confederate soldiers who died here are buried. The gardens on the property are beautiful.

Really enjoyed this tour! Be warned, you will be standing for over an hour, there is no place to sit at all. If you leave during the tour, you are not allowed back in. We were warned, so no big deal, might be a problem with young children. Our tour guide definitely knew his history. The grounds and cemetery are well maintained and moving. Definitely a must see while in the area!
