Post subject:  Great website about battle of Franklin

I have already posted on the Army of the Tennessee forum, but after watching I felt the club members who have not seen this might enjoy. Excellent end piece about preserving the battlefield.

Here is the site

Thanks for sharing. Took the family to Florida last month and we spent the night in Nashville. We had a couple of hours to burn before the hotel was ready and we went to the Carnton plantation.
There was about 40 - 50 reb cav reanctors there and they were performing cav maneuvers. Very very cool to see. I reminded my family watching them that the guns back then only shot once and then you had to reload, could you imagine shooting and then seeing that coming at you?? Next time we will go to the Carter house.
There is a golf course next to the Carnton plantation that they are going to return to the original battlefield.
