Private Tours
Franklin on
Foot offers private tours that can be tailored to your specific
interests, conforming to your schedule, at your convenience. Tours can
be either walking or driving in your vehicle.
Here are
some of the private tours our guests have enjoyed:
-
Civil War in Franklin: We tour downtown Franklin's homes,
churches and public buildings from the occupation period through the
Battle of Franklin and aftermath. Tours of Lotz and Carter Houses
and Carnton Plantation, Fort Granger and Winstead Hill may be added
to the itinerary. Entrance fees to all 3 house museums add an
additional $30 per person (admission to all 3 museums
regularly $40). (2-8 hours)
-
Franklin Churches: Franklin's historic downtown is home to many
beautiful houses of worship, from the mother church of the Tennessee
Episcopals to a church built for freed slaves. Beautiful stained
glass, statuary and stories bring Franklin's religious history to
life. (2-3 hours)
-
Architecture: Downtown Franklin is a microcosm of 19th and 20th
century American styles of architecture. Several early 19th century
Federal-style structures remain, as well as Italianate, Queen Anne,
Victorian, Romanesque Revival, Gothic Revival, Greek Revival and Art
Deco. We'll visit them all, and hear the stories of their builders
and residents from the past. (2-4 hours)

The Insider's Guide
to Franklin:
In addition
to
our Classic Franklin tour, we'll tour one of Franklin's most
charming private homes where we'll meet the lively, entertaining
resident from one of Franklin's oldest families. I'll make
recommendations for and join you for lunch if you wish. Carnton,
Carter and Lotz Houses may be added.
-
Ghosts Galore:
Our 90-minute Haunted Franklin tour covers a mere
pittance of Franklin's ghost stories. We've got enough stories for
at least a four-hour tour, maybe even more. You've got the time,
we've got the ghosts!
Additionally, any of our regular tours can be turned into private tours
for your group. Birthday parties, neighborhood association outings,
supper clubs, wedding rehearsals, corporate events, bachelorette parties
and Sunday school classes have all been the occasion for a Franklin on
Foot private tour. Evening private ghost tours may not be available on
weekends or in the month of October.
Private
tours can be as short as 2 or as long as 8 hours. The
basic private tour is 2 hours for up to 4 people in your party for
$140. Each additional person over 4 is $25 per tour.
