Profile
Carter House, built in 1830, was one of the premier farms in Middle Tennessee. On November 30, 1864, the home and the families who lived there found themselves in the middle of one of the most dramatic events of the Civil War.
Carter House was built in 1830 by Fountain Branch Carter. The home and family witnessed one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War on November 30, 1864. The modest brick home was commandeered and used as a Federal command post while the Carter family, their slaves, and a neighboring family sought refuge in the basement during the fighting that erupted on their property. This National Historic Landmark has been open to the public since 1953.
