Description
Possibly, the five bloodiest hours of America's Civil War took place here at the Battle of Franklin. On November 30, 1864, Carnton was occupied by Confederate troops moving toward the well-entrenched Federal army. A devastating battle ensued. Later, the mansion housed hundreds of the more than 6,000 Confederate casualties from that battle. Adjoining the property is the largest private Confederate cemetery in America. Admission: $7 adults, $5 senior citizens, $3 ages 6-12, free under 6 years. Disabled access is limited to the first floor and the grounds.
