Lotz House Museum

The Lotz House Museum is a historic home built in the mid-19th century, notable for its role during the Battle of Franklin in 1864. This house was constructed by German immigrant and builder, D. A. Lotz, and features original furnishings and artifacts that provide insight into the domestic life of that era, as well as the significant events that unfolded here during the Civil War. Visitors can take guided tours that explore the home’s history and its impact on the community. Plan for about an hour, and consider a visit in the late afternoon for fewer crowds. It is located near the picturesque downtown Franklin, which offers charming shops and dining options within walking distance.
