| Introduction |

The Magnolia House Bed & Breakfast owned by Jimmy and Robbie Smithson, was built circa 1905 on the land that was the site of the Battle of Franklin. This Craftsman Style home has undergone two renovations; the most recent completed the Spring 1997. |
The Magnolia House Bed & Breakfast is located with 2 blocks of the Historic Carter House and 1 mile of the Historic Carnton Plantation, and is a pleasant walk to historic downtown Franklin.

The front porch is shaded by a huge old magnolia tree. From May to July the tree is in full bloom with beautiful large white blossoms that have a wonderful lemon-like fragrance.
