This was our second time on the Battle of Franklin tour to Carnton. Lucky enough to get Kristy as the tour guide. Very informative and recommend this full tour to any Civil War history buffs.

Historian Eric Jacobson is your MUST-guide if you want the story of the Battle of Franklin to come alive. Walk thru the Confedeate Cemetery on your own but read about it here first. Read more
