The Battle of Franklin Trust has announced a new board of directors for 2016. Previously, there was a board of directors for Carnton Plantation, The Carter House and The Battle of Franklin Trust.

The new board includes five members from each of the pre-existing boards.
“The Battle of Franklin Trust has an especially bright future,” commented The Battle of Franklin Trust Board Chairman Marianne Schroer. “The merging of all three boards will create a unified platform to further tell the story of The Battle of Franklin and its deeply important historical significance as well as play a vital role in continued efforts toward battlefield reclamation and the implementation of The Battle of Franklin Trust master plan.” Members of the new board include: Ernie Bacon, Mike Bailey, Hunter Battle, Dave Fentress, Amanda Hall, Robert Hicks, Bruce Hohler, Tim Kearns, Mike Plumley, Margaret Roberts, Marianne Schroer, Cullen Smith, J.T. Thompson, Ed Underwood and Susan Williams
The Battle of Franklin Trust was established to operate and manage both The Carter House and Carnton Plantation. The new board will work on behalf of both historical sites located in Franklin, Tennessee.
