Farm office restored to highlight battle scars from Nov. 30, 1864

The Battle of Franklin Trust will open the Carter House farm office after the completion of a $170,000 restoration project. It was once used as an office and living space for the Carter family, and now the restored building will be a centerpiece of the tour experience at the Carter House. The north and south interior walls of the building will remain exposed, showing the intense damage that occurred during the Battle of Franklin.

The Carter House farm office is believed to be the most battle-damaged structure still standing from the time of the American Civil War. The restoration of the building was made possible through a partnership among The Battle of Franklin Trust, the Tennessee Historical Commission, Centric Architecture and Rock City Construction.
