Battle Scarred
Over 100 artifacts are on display, some of which have not been viewed together for 150 years. Incorporating artifacts, graphic elements, light and sound, the display will be the first of its kind in Franklin. Battle Scarred captures the ultimate cost of war and the importance of the Battle of Franklin as part of our national heritage.
STEP INTO THE STORY
Upon entering the exhibit, you will receive an enlistment card of a soldier who fought in the Battle of Franklin. The fate of your soldier will be revealed during the tour.

FAMILY NIGHT
An educational Family Night will take place on the third Thursday of every month during the exhibit, each with a new theme. These after-hour evenings will allow families and visitors additional time to explore and enjoy the exhibit.
