We were VERY LUCKY to have J.T. as our tour guide. He was the BEST tour guide we've ever had (and we'r enot young!). J.T. made the tour come alive and I could just picture the Lotz's and what they were going through during the battle. The battle of Franklin was not one I'd ever heard of. J.T. made it... More

This was our first stop on my husband and I's tour of 3 pieces of history. We bought the ticket that allowed us to see the Lotz House, Carton Plantation and the Carter House. The Lotz house was historical but not as war related as the other 2 were. It was kind of like a break from the blood and... More

We had a very interesting tour led by Ellen, who did a fantastic job and must have a great memory. I had read previous reviews about how great a guide J.T. was before visiting, but Ellen did not disappoint. The furnishings, etc. were as interesting as the house itself. More

All our party really enjoyed touring this piece of Civil War History. The staff and tour guide were extremely informative and were able to transport us back to a time we can only read about. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in that period of our history. More

This was the best part of our vacation. We first went to the Carter house -tears came to my eyes as our very knowledgable tour guide brought us back to the most horrible battle of the Civil War. We felt as though we knew the family by the end of the tour. Next onto Lotz House J.T our tour guide... More
