From Winstead Hill 

4023 Columbia Ave, Franklin, TN 37064 carter-house

The once mighty Army of Tennessee was brought to it’s knees in the late afternoon of November 30th, 1864. From Winstead Hill south of Franklin, Lt. Gen.

Experience the 2 mile long landscape along Columbia Pike in this Virtual Tour. This battlefield is under constant development†, so this is probably the last imagery of a portion of it about halfway from Winstead Hill to the Carter House.

A full screen option is in the tool bar at the bottom of the panorama. For more virtual tours, visit the battleofnashville.com
