The Battle of Franklin was fought on November 30, 1864, in Franklin, Tennessee, as part of the Franklin–Nashville Campaign of the American Civil War. It was one of the worst disasters of the war for the Confederate States Army. At its epicenter was Lotz House, where battle literally took place in the family’s front yard. Evidence of the conflict remain, with bloodstains and cannonball scars throughout the house. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, guided house tours take place throughout the day, as well as specialized tours like a ghost tour, a women’s history tour and a battlefield tour with a Civil War expert.
