Carnton Plantation in Franklin TN
One of the things I absolutely love about living in Franklin TN is its rich history. Franklin was founded in 1799 and very few people actually know that one of the worst battles in the Civil War was fought here. As a result, you will find several historic exhibits here. Carnton Plantation is one of Franklin's most famous historic sites.
Carnton Plantation in Franklin TN was built in 1815 by former
Nashville mayor Randal McGavock. At the time, Carnton became one of the premier farms in Williamson County, Tennessee. John McGavock inherited the farm upon his father's death. John married Carrie Elizabeth Winder in 1848 and they had five children, three of whom died at an early age. The surviving children were son, Winder, and daughter, Hattie.
On November 30, 1864, during the Battle of Franklin, Carnton Plantation was used as a field hospital for hundreds of wounded and dying Confederate troops. The Battle of Franklin has become known as one of the bloodiest battles of the entire Civil War. The Confederate Army of Tennessee assaulted the Federal army in the late hours of the night along the southern edge of Franklin. The battle only lasted about 5 hours but nearly 10,000 soldiers were either killed, missing or wounded. Of that number, 7,000 were Confederate soldiers. They filled Carnton with the bodies of the wounded. After the house could no longer accomodate any more injured, the yard was used for the wounded and the dead. The floors of the Carnton Plantation are still stained with the blood of those that were wounded that night.
Two years later, John and Carrie McGavock designated two acres to be used as the final burial place for 1,491 Confederate soldiers. The cemetery was maintained by the McGavocks until their death. Today, the McGavock Confederate Cemetery is the largest privately owned military cemetery in the United States.
Carnton Plantation remained in the McGavock f
amily until 1911 when it was sold by Winder McGavock's widow, Susie. Carnton was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. In 1977, the house and 10 acres, including the cemetery, were donated to the Carnton Association. The house was suffering from years of neglect and disrepair.
The Association was a vital part in the restoration of Carnton Plantation. It continues to maintain the plantation through tours, special events, such as weddings, summer concert series and corporate events, memberships, gift shop sales and generous donations.
Carnton Plantation located at 1345 Carnton Lane in Franklin, TN is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Carnton Plantation in Franklin TN is one exhibit you won't want to miss.
If you are a history buff and would like to read a fictional account of the events that took place at the Carnton Plantation, read Robert Hick's New York Times best selling book, The Widow of the South.
Visit the Franklin Farmers Market in Franklin TN
I love Saturday mornings in Historic Franklin TN. A great way to start the weekend is to head over to the Franklin Farmers Market located in the rear parking lot of the Factory shopping mall. I know the days are hot but you'll find lots of delicious farm-fresh food. 
The Franklin Farmers Market has many varieties of tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, onions, several varieties of pepper, purple hull peas and lots of fresh berries. Sweet corn on the cob in available now. You'll also find something to satisfy your sweet tooth, from juicy watermelons and cantaloupes to fresh blueberry pies. There are also freshly baked breads and muffins, and let's not forget the fried pies in apple, peach and blackberry.
Although, farm fresh vegetables and fruits are the main draw. You'll also find fresh steaks and chicken for grilling and fresh dairy products. The flower vendors let you pick your choice of flowers and then they'll create a beautiful bouquet for your centerpiece. Jewelry vendors and local artists also sell their items at the market so there's something for everyone. I can't think of a better way to spend the morning. When you're done just head into the Factory for more shopping and fun.

Why Would Someone Pay $29 a Month to Become a Rainmaker on ActiveRain?
I have a good friend that is a Realtor® in IL. For the purpose of this post, let's call her Sue. Sue has been in real estate for about 15 years and has done very well for herself. She was previously in sales and it was a very natural transition into selling real estate. Sue is a very likeable person and it has served her well over the years.
Recently while visiting IL, I spoke with Sue about the advantages
of having a Rainmaker account on ActiveRain. Sue has a profile here with her name and contact information but that's it. She hasn't posted any blogs.
Sue was perplexed by the whole thing. Why would any Realtor® spend the time and money to write about real estate on a site that is only visited by other real estate agents? How does that bring one business?
She mentioned an article that I had written a few months ago entitled, Unscrupulous Listing Practice? Sue was impressed with the attention that the article had garnered, but she said the only people who read it were real estate agents. I asked her, "What makes you think that?" Her response, "All the comments were made by real estate agents, not one consumer". I explained that's because consumers read the articles here but rarely do they comment on the posts. No matter what I said, Sue wasn't convinced that ActiveRain could actually bring her additional business.
So, why would someone pay $29 a month to become a Rainmaker on ActiveRain?
So, my question to Sue was...why wouldn't you do it? This, undoubtedly, is the best $29 a month that I have ever spent to increase my business.
