Franklin Travel Guide

Welcome to Franklin, TN!

Visitors can learn more about this battle through the Carter House, the most battle-damaged building in the area, as well as the Carnton Plantation, another landmark that was used as a field hospital to injured and dying soldiers. The Plantation features Ghost Tours in July, Haunted Halloween Tours in October and the Sunset Concert Series in July and August.
