More Tennessee

Fascinating Civil War history at little Franklin, TN just south of Nashville. This plantation home served as a field hospital during a horrendous battle with about 9,000 casualties. They operated here, threw amputated limbs from the windows into a pile that reached as high as that smokehouse. Blood stains remain on the floors of the house.
The family cemetery was later extended to include almost 1500 graves of Confederate soldiers.

In town, this building remains as the most battle-scarred still standing from the Civil War. 203 holes from minie-balls.

On a lighter note!!

Grand Ole Opry is so much fun! You can walk right up to the stage for close-up flash pictures. Bellamy Brothers and Larry Gatlin and many, many more.

We both agree, Tennessee has been the most beautiful state to drive through. Lush, green, rolling hills, beautiful highways.
