Sightseeing
Few homes in Tennessee have as much reason to be haunted as the Carter House in Franklin. The house was built in 1830 by Fountain Branch Carter, never realizing that it would be in the center of one of the most terrifying battles in the Civil War, a battle in which nearly the entire Army of Tennessee was destroyed.

Parks & Nature
Natchez Trace is 8 miles from my home and is a gorgeous place to take a drive, ride your bike, have a picnic, or take a little hike through the woods. The double arch bridge is a site to see - gorgeous bit of architecture. Standing at the top gives you one of the most picturesque views of the area.
