Lotz House Civil War Museum

Carpenter Albert Lotz built this grand home in 1858 on what would become the site of the Battle of Franklin during the Civil War. Lotz turned his home into a makeshift hospital for the injured soldiers.Today, visitors can take guided tours to explore the history of the war through the stains in the rooms, battle-damaged interiors, and the marks of a cannon-ball hitting the floor. The tours also allow visitors to explore fine antiques and stories of the family during the critical 1864 Battle of Franklin. For paranormal enthusiasts, a special tour takes you through the home's unexplained mysteries.
