Carnton

Franklin,TN

The plantation near the battlefield at Franklin, TN.
This home, owned by the McGavock family for over 100 years, became a surgical hospital after the battle in November, 1864.
The boards of the dining room are still stained with the blood of injured soldiers who were in surgery there.

Interesting... and a beautiful house well rendered.

Interesting history to this house and a grand building.
Its strange how your US history is much older than we imagine in UK.
As this must be over 150 years old

It is such a beautiful old house. It is hard to imagine that it was the scene of such sadness.
