The Carter House Association/Tennessee Antebellum Trail is a historic organization located in Franklin, Tennessee. Founded in 1977, the Association seeks to preserve and interpret the historic sites, cultural heritage, and stories of Middle Tennessee during the Antebellum period (1790-1860). The Association works to engage the public through educational programming and exhibits, as well as to conserve and promote the legacy of the area’s important Antebellum sites.

The Carter House, a four-story brick building located in downtown Franklin, is the centerpiece of the Trail. Built in 1830 by Fountain Branch Carter, the home was the site of intense fighting during the Battle of Franklin in 1864, and is now a National Historic Landmark. The Carter House Association offers tours of the house and grounds, as well as other educational programming about the Battle of Franklin.

The Tennessee Antebellum Trail includes a network of historic sites, museums, and galleries throughout Middle Tennessee. These sites include Carnton Plantation, just two miles away from the Carter House, the Lotz House in Franklin, the historic town of Leiper’s Fork, the Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville, the Belle Meade Plantation, and many more. The Trail offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore the history and culture of this important region of the country.
