Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and well versed in the Battle of Franklin. By the time we toured all three of the homes included in the Value Ticket we REALLY understood the battle ourselves! Thank goodness for some well-placed chairs we were allowed to sit on during this tour! We were wondering if our tour guide was an actor,... More

Wonderful tour. It is amazing to see the actual house that withstood this Civil War battle. The stories of the people that lived there were so interesting to hear, definitely a trip back in time worth taking!

How can one run their hands across the bullet-scarred boards of the Carter Farm Office building, and not envision themselves back in time during this awful battle? It's impossible!

We had a very knowledgable tour guide who really enjoyed telling about the battle and the family that lived here. He really brought you back in time as he told stories from the past.

The house isn't much to look at, but combined with the surrounding buildings and great tour guide, the battle of franklin was recreated and this was its epicenter. Did the Lotz, Carnton Plantation and driving tour, and this was the best place if you only have time for one.

Our tour guide at the Carter House was very knowledge and excited to be sharing the history of the house and how the Battle of Franklin... More

A visit to this house gives one a feel for what it must have been like to be caught in the middle of "the bloodiest 5 hrs of the civil war." The guide was passionate about the story, and brought it alive for all of us.

nice set up - good walking tour. good location with relation to carnton plantation. watch for the signs, easy to miss the turns

Great guide, interesting historical tour. My husband is a history buff, and he was thrilled to explore the home and the museum. I liked the tour of the home as well.
