    What I really liked best, besides Chuck the tour guide, was that you actually got to go in the rooms. Most places only let you look in. Chuck also told us what happened to the members of Lotz’s family in the aftermath of the war.

    Sheila was an amazing storyteller! She really brought alive the events. You can see so many bullet holes in the wood buildings and in the brick facings. Families were hiding in the basement while thousands were being killed outside. What a disastrous moment of our history!

    Spectacular property filled with history and sadness. Visiting Rippavilla would be a nice lead into this property, we did it the other way, but the pieces fell together. The house is beautiful, and I cannot imagine what transpired when it became a make shift hospital. The graves are evidence of what happened on that site, and it stops and makes you think. Definitely a site to visit if you enjoy history or just seeing a beautiful Tennessee property.

    Lots of fun shops and little restaurants to enjoy. Wish we had allowed more time to spend wandering the streets.

    Beautiful distillery, in a lovely peaceful country setting. The perfect place to sit and enjoy an afternoon cocktail.

    Here rest in peace many hundreds of confederate soldiers of the American civil war, fallen in the bloody battle of Franklin Tennessee. Beautiful please un the middle of a peaceful nature. The sound of silence

    We spent close to an hour enjoying the variety of art work in Gallery 202, making a purchase and, most of all, talking with Jim McReynolds the Gallery's manager. It is a must stop when walking the streets of downtown Franklin.

    Wow – what a pretty drive out from Nashville to check out this bridge. Made for some nice family photos – there are photo ops above and below. Would love to drive more of this parkway as I’m sure there is more to see than we did.

    Spent all day here. Stopped at the coffee trailer by the market. Drove several miles on the Natchez and hiked one of the stops. Came back and tasted at the leipers fork winery. Shopped then drove to the distillery. Good tour. Then had dinner at 1890. Great.

    The entire experience was fantastic. We enjoyed the hayride thru the fields looking at the cows and older buildings. The corn maze and the mini golf was unexpected and very fun. The animals was another fun time seeing all the different types from goats and chickens to even the turkeys. The pumpkin patch was great priced and a good selection. The also offer military discounts

    We really enjoyed this stop and felt it was well planned and well maintained. The bathroom was clean for a public rest stop type bathroom too.

    We visited in late October and there were a lot of veggies, mums, dried flowers, gluten free mixes, knitted baby hats, jewelry, fish, etc. There were lots of vendors and the weather was beautiful for walking around.
