Bill is a fabulous tour guide. This was interesting and just the right amount of time. Summer is a great time to come to avoid school field trips. We did the 930AM tour as they opened and it was perfect to beat the July heat!
Amazing, yet sad piece of history - great tour. Study a little bit on the Battle of Franklin before visiting. Make sure to walk the grounds and read the markers. One of the most interesting artifacts in the house is the sugar chest Google it
Nice house and out buildings. Guide focused on distorted facts and personal opinion rather than actual historical facts. No chairs or benches in basement area.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$16–20
Great tour and worth the stop. Our guide had a ton of information about this place and the surrounding battles.
An interesting immersion of what it would have been like to be present during the battle at the house during the war. Wonderful house and a great lawn to walk and see depiction of what was happening before and during the battle.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$11–15
The tour itself was cool, but our tour guide made the experience! She reached in and gave you such a heartfelt experience, not just a tour. Believe me when I say Kristie was the perfect person to show us the emotion behind it all! I will never look at the war the same. She showed us through their eyes! Thank You for loving what you do and the people you talk about!
A beautiful historic house on a very tragic piece of land. Caught between the Union and Confederates fighting for Franklin. You can still see the bullet holes and the cannon ball that struck the house and the work office. Very haunting. The tour was very good and I enjoyed it. Downfall is you're not allowed to take pictures inside the house.
Well-preserved history. Our tour guide was EXCELLENT!! Thank you for allowing us to learn from and experience this place.
Our tour guide, Brian, was so great during our visit. It was a very eye-opening tour, our group learned so much about the Battle of Franklin and the Carter family - highly recommend if you’re in the area!
I was surprised by the level of information and the commitment to uncovering history that our tour guide has an undertaken. She truly embodies her work and this is a definitely a major part of her calling. There’s so much African and African American History that is lost to time. I’m grateful that the hubs and I could carve out time for this walk through history. Ideally, to reach more folks of whom this might benefit maybe a few weekend or evening tours might become available for folks that can’t take off work. Thank you for your dedication to storytelling and the preserving of truths.
