THE BATTLE OF FRANKLIN TRUST TRANSFORMS THE CIVIL WAR LEARNING EXPERIENCE The Battle of Franklin Trust preserves and manages two historic homes in Franklin and one in Spring Hill where it interprets stories of the Civil War and the lives of the people associated with the sites. The three sites attract some 200,000 visitors annually. Carter House, Carnton, and Rippa Villa (Spring Hill) were surrounded by the Battle of Franklin in November of 1864. A variety of thematic tours are offered at each site, such as stories of the War’s impact on the families who lived there and the enslaved people who worked there, interpretation of the surrounding battlefield, and behind-the-scenes tours. Each November, a special event commemorates the November 29-30, 1864, Battles of Spring Hill and Franklin. The Partnerships and Policies phase from 2000-2025 represented an intentional effort by various preservation groups within the city and the City itself to expand and recognize the preservation of Franklin’s rich African American history. 88 FRANKLIN, TN | PRESERVATION PLAN
