Ghosts of the
Battlefield Tour
Our
newest tour takes us inside the
Lotz House,
the historic house museum that opened in 2008 on Columbia Avenue in
Franklin. Here visitors will view this beautifully restored 1858
"show house" while hearing stories of bloodshed and
destruction... and unexplained phenomena.

When
lives are cut short, sometimes spirits remain. We think that's what happened
here.
Located
just north of the Carter House, Lotz house was in the thick of the
fighting that occurred on November 30, 1864. The
Lotz family’s experience during the Battle of Franklin
and aftermath is a compelling story of civilian life during the War and
occupation. These tragic tales will chill visitors as they view the
house filled with period
furnishings and decoration.
Your
guide, dressed in period costume, will also relate accounts from other
battlefield sites, including Carter House, Harrison House and Carnton
Plantation.
Our next tour is Saturday, August 28 ay 7:00 pm.
Tickets are $20 for adults, and $10 children
13 and under.
