Historical
hope for a better future learned from the past
Why stay in a hotel when you can relax in living history? While the home did not exist during the Civil War, the property was built in 1902 and is located on ground zero of the Battle of Franklin, one of the largest, best known and documented battles of the American Civil War. For this reason, Williamson County’s historian named the Redford Family home “Franklin Battlefield Inn.” While Civil War history has its critics, we believe that we can find hope for a better and brighter future by learning from our past. With this in mind, you can bask in the history during your stay. Don’t worry, you won’t have to cook over a fire or wash your clothes in the stream. Part of our better future happened to include a few modern amenities that we’ve been sure to provide.
Comfortable
sink in to that perfect feel good spot
It can be hard to find the comfortable environment that traditional furnishings provide and yet get the modern appliances and technology that make you feel at home. Here you will find all the charm an older home offers with many new traditional furnishings. While the Inn is decorated with some beautiful and period-specific pieces, you won’t find it stuffy or fragile. You will find yourself in new comfortable beds with quality linens and want to sink into that perfect “feel good” couch or chair to settle in for a night. A tankless water heater will guarantee you always have a great bathing experience and the heat and air can be set to suit your own desires. We have the perfect full-service kitchen to cook a full meal or just a midnight snack. Dirty laundry? No problem. We have a full-size washer and dryer to keep your clothes and towels fresh. Come relax with us, we’ve got your spot waiting.

You also don’t have to worry about the sights and sounds or interruptions of neighbors in your own house.
