Lotz House Ghost Tour

The Lotz House is a beautifully preserved Civil War-era home built in 1858 that sits on the battlefield of the pivotal Battle of Franklin. During a guided tour, you'll explore the rooms and learn the compelling story of the family who lived here and how the house became caught in the center of the conflict. You can see actual damage from cannonball fire and artifacts recovered from the battlefield, and the house even served as a hospital for soldiers from both sides. Tours last about 45 minutes and allow you to walk through every room—no standing behind ropes required. This is a wonderful experience for anyone interested in Civil War history or local heritage. Advance reservations are required, so you'll need to call (615) 790-7190 or email info@lotzhouse.com to book your tickets. The knowledgeable guides bring the history to life with detailed stories about the battle, the house's construction, and the remarkable Lotz family. It's a memorable outing for older kids and adults who enjoy history and want to understand this significant moment in American life.
