I am a huge fan of Civil War history, and highly recommend you visit the Carter House, and also the McGavock Plantation "Carnton" where the Confederate cemetery is located. Five Confederate generals were killed outright in Franklin and one mortally wounded during the bloody battle that was fought here on 30 November 1864 that left about 8,000 men dead. Major General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne, Brig. Gen. States Rights Gist, Brig. General Otho French Strahl, Brig. Gen. Hiram B. Granbury, and Brig. Gen. John Adams were killed outright, and Brig. Gen. John C. Carter was mortally-wounded and died a week later. The bodies of Generals Cleburne, Strahl, Granbury and Adams were laid on the back porch of Carnton mansion after the battle. Many have reported seeing the ghost of Maj. Gen. Pat Cleburne roaming about the premises.
