Remembering America's Civil War |
1435 Carnton Lane Nashville, TN 37064 United States +1 615 794 0903 http://www.carnton.org/ |
Possibly, the five bloodiest hours of America's Civil War took place here at the Battle of Franklin. On November 30, 1864, Carnton was occupied by Confederate troops moving toward the well-entrenched Federal army. A devastating battle ensued. Later, the mansion housed hundreds of the more than 6,000 Confederate casualties from that battle. Adjoining the property is the largest private Confederate cemetery in America.
