Lotz House Ghost Tours

The Lotz House offers guided tours through a Civil War-era home built in 1858 that played a central role in the Battle of Franklin. During the battle, the house sustained damage from cannonball fire and later served as a hospital for soldiers from both sides. Today, visitors can see physical evidence of this conflict throughout the restored home, which contains thousands of artifacts recovered from the battlefield along with period furniture and household items. Tours last roughly 45 minutes and begin on the hour, allowing guests to walk through every room rather than viewing from behind barriers. The Lotz House also offers specialty tours focused on different themes—such as women's history during the Civil War era—and advance reservations are required for these options. To book a tour, call (615) 790-7190 or email info@lotzhouse.com. This experience works well for history enthusiasts of all ages and those interested in learning about local Civil War heritage.
