Carnton
During the war, Carnton served as a makeshift hospital for hundreds of wounded soldiers. The plantation owner, John McGavock, and his wife, Carrie, opened up their home to treat and care for the injured. Tragically, the McGavocks lost four of their five children in the span of four years, making their contributions to the war effort even more significant. Visitors can tour the grounds, see the restored medical office and kitchen, and visit the McGavock family cemetery, where many soldiers were buried during the war.
Visiting Carnton is a unique opportunity to step back in time and learn about the sacrifices made by both soldiers and civilians during the Civil War. The property offers a glimpse into daily life during the war, as well as the immense impact the Battle of Franklin had on the local community. With its beautiful architecture and poignant history, Carnton is a must-see for anyone interested in American history or looking for a meaningful and educational experience.
