Carter House

Nestled in Franklin, Tennessee, the one-and-a-half-story red brick Carter House stands as a poignant reminder of the Civil War. In 1864, this former home and farm was transformed into a strategic headquarters during the Battle of Franklin, where 20,000 Confederate soldiers launched a fierce attack. Known as one of the bloodiest battles of the war, the site now offers visitors a glimpse into its historical significance. Today, guests can explore the house and learn about its pivotal role in American history, understanding the transformation from a peaceful residence to a battlefield.
