The Lotz House offers a powerful story of the Civil War-era Lotz family. The house, built by master woodworker Johann Albert Lotz, still bears cannonball damage and bloodstains from the brutal 1864 Battle of Franklin. It provides fascinating and super interesting guided tours that focus on the people and their incredible resilience. The tour guides give a lot of history in an informative, interesting, and engaging way, bringing it to life with emotion, humor, and a wealth of knowledge. The experience is absolutely worth visiting and highly recommended. Visitors can explore fine antiques and rooms where history was made at this compelling historic site.

What a pleasant time we had at the Lot house! Tony was our guide and is immensely knowledgeable about the Lotz House and the time era. The home is very well preserved and has many beautiful pieces.
