LOTZ HOUSE TO HOSTTHE 161ST ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF FRANKLIN WITH
ILLUMINATION AND WALKING BATTLEFIELD TOUR
This happens one month from Today!
We hope you will join us …
In commemoration of the 161st Anniversary of the Battle of Franklin held on November 30,
the Lotz House will host a Walking Battlefield Tour in the morning and an Illumination Ceremony on the front lawn of the home, ground zero of the Battle of Franklin at 4:30 p.m., the time the battle ensued.
In addition, we will celebrate Matilda Lotz’ birthday the day prior to the battle when she turned six years old.
Lotz House Executive Director Thomas Y. Cartwright said, “We have commemorated the anniversary of the Battle Franklin since we opened the Lotz House in 2008.
It started with a handful of history enthusiasts working to keep the story alive. The Lotz House invited the public to join us in remembering those who died, those who survived, and how it changed Franklin and beyond forever.”
The public is invited to join in the lighting of a luminary on the front steps of the Lotz House at 4:30 p.m. along
with a special tribute by reenactor Bill Radcliff.
Thomas Cartwright will lead the Walking Battlefield Tour Sunday, November 30 at 10:30 a.m. Reservations for the
tour are required by calling 615-790-7190.
