Carnton Plantation

The guided tour was extremely blasé about slavery in a very uncomfortable way.

The older guy who has a receding hairline has a very frustrating voice when giving his tours . It would be a much better tour if it were self-guided.

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
