Anniversary Programming at Carter House and Carnton

The Trust commemorates the Battles of Spring Hill and Franklin and their role in the American story every year. This year, join the Battle of Franklin Trust at all three historic sites to experience the commemorations in a new way. Normal tours will occur throughout the day, but the sites remain open in the evening for special anniversary programming.

We will walk guests through each home in small groups. This will allow for a more personal chance to better understand what happened at each site. Your opportunity to visit Rippa Villa and learn about the fateful events there will be on November 29 from 5 to 7 pm. On November 30, also from 5 – 7 pm, you can visit Carter House and Carnton and experience the story of the Battle of Franklin, its cost, and its long-term impact. Both events are free and open to the public.
