Historic Franklin was established in 1799. It is rich in Civil War history - the decisive and tragic Battle of Franklin was fought here. This brief, bloody and incredible fierce Civil War encounter took place on November 30, 1864. Although it lasted only five hours, some 8,578 Americans were killed, wounded or taken prisoner. Five other battles were fought in the county during the war.

The Carter House which was the Federal Headquarters during the battle and the Carnton Plantation which was used as a field hospital by the Confederate Army, are both National Landmarks and are open to the public.

Franklin was the heart of the Middle Tennessee plantation country in the mid 19th century. Many of the ante-bellum plantation homes are still in existence today and can be seen on a driving tour. Also of particular interest is the Natchez Trace Parkway which winds through the country.
