    Lotz museum
    Sleazy T S.

    First off Evan , thank you for a very informative and knowledgeable tour of this beautiful 160 year old home that is incredibly preserved. The story of the people that lived in this house was told with such reverence and respect of their lives. What a time they lived in and through. The history of this era may not date back far but it's an important part of history and the lives that were lost and the ones that moved on from it and that lived through it. The History of this home is amazing. The hardships and the conquests of what happened right outside the walls of this home. The men that fought , lived and died outside the doors of that home. You must see this as well as the Carter house and the carnton plantation. This battle was huge.

    Such a wonderfully informative tour. It lasted two hours and Chuck, who is a retired high school history teacher, taught us more about this location of the Civil War than we ever imagined. Called ground zero of the battle of Franklin, the stories are horrendous. You will come away with a love for Matilda Łótz's artwork. This family endured much but got back up and kept moving. No photos are allowed in the museum.

    We had a great tour and learned the Lotz Family was pretty amazing. Tour guide Will did a great tour and was very informative about the civil war battle and the family. I would recommend it.

    Great tour by Chuck today. I'm not a Civil War buff and learned so much about the Battle of Franklin and the residents of the house.

    What a story! Kelly our guide was absolutely wonderful. We went to several tours while in TN and this one by far was the most fascinating.

    The Franklin Haunted Walking Tour is an absolute MUST DO! When it started to sprinkle, the others…read morewho had booked ended up canceling. Instead of calling off the tour, Alicia gave me a private one. She was a phenomenal guide--her passion for Franklin, its rich history, and its community was obvious from the start. The tour was fun, dynamic, and incredibly insightful. Alicia shared each encounter with such historical accuracy and animated storytelling that I literally felt chills, all while feeding my love of learning about history and culture. Her reputation in the community is undeniable. Before, during, and after the tour, so many people spoke highly of both the quality of her tours and of her as a person. I originally found Franklin Walking Tours online, but once I arrived in town, every local I asked pointed me straight to Alicia--often described as "the tours with the lanterns." While we walked, it was clear how well-known and well-loved she is. Watching her interact with the community made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming, almost like being at home. Later, when I went to dinner, everyone who asked about my day lit up when I mentioned her tour and immediately started raving about it. Franklin Walking Tours are hands down a must when visiting. I will definitely be back to try the other tours--and I'm hoping to bring my family and maybe even redo this one. :)

    Spontaneously decided to take the Grim and Ghostly tour last night. Alicia, our guide, is a…read morerelentless researcher of Franklin's history and I always learn something new. She's also a great speaker and delivers history with wit and charm! If you've never done a Franklin walking tour, you should definitely book one! If you have done a Franklin walking tour, you should go again because they always keep it fresh and fun.
