i was at Fort Donelson end of July. The VC was still under construction, but they do have a temp trailer set up acting as a VC. Only a couple of items on display, and nice little gift shop, and film. Due to tornado's tearing down trees, it is pretty much impossible to get down to Fort Henry.

This sounds great. Let me know a meeting point and time Early is ok. I would do Rippavilla if others wanted to. Thanks!I definitely plan to visit the SCV Museum, NBF's gravesite and Rose Hill Cemetery in Columbia on Thursday. I have been to all 3 but I want to go again. There are other things to do there and I have already done them. Not sure what others want to do.
I also want to and plan to go to Spring Hill. I have been there 3 times already but I love it there. I did the house tour of Rippavilla on the battle anniversary last year. There are a lot of tour options through the BOFT:
Tours at Rippavilla — The Battle of Franklin Trust
Rippavilla is a Greek Revival style mansion built by the Cheairs family in the 1850s. It is located on the Spring Hill battlefield, and was used by Confederate Gen. John Bell Hood on the morning on November 30, 1864.
For anyone who hasn't been to Spring Hill and wants to do a Rippavilla tour, I don't think there is enough time to do that on Friday morning and be back in Murfreesboro in time for the Muster kickoff.
With an early start, Columbia and Spring Hill on Thursday is doable. For me, the only issue would be which to do first. If a group of us do that, the deciding factor imo would be how many want to do a Rippavilla tour.
I tried to set one up at the Lotz house but they only have one start time and it is too early for the Friday Muster. I actually paid and now they are going to refund me from the cash drawer.
There is one at 9pm in Columbia on Friday night.
I would definetly be interested in a Spring Hill/Rippavilla tour on thursday! I also want to do Fort Negley, but I could do that on monday.I definitely plan to visit the SCV Museum, NBF's gravesite and Rose Hill Cemetery in Columbia on Thursday.

Wasn't aware ghost tours were nationally ranked.....wonder on what basis
Attendence? Reviews? Instances of paranormal activity?
Our plans are to drive up early Thursday morning to get in on the side trips . Plus haven't seen our fearless leaders smiling face in months lol
He is still just as cheerful as ever.
I can't say I'm going to that museum, or any side trips by the looks of my schedule with this muster and after a stunt one of the heads of the SCV pulled on me and Tom at the Jefferson Symposium I know I won't be paying dues no matter what.I definitely plan to visit the SCV Museum, NBF's gravesite and Rose Hill Cemetery in Columbia on Thursday.

Yes sir . If I can wrangle those two females into the truck we gonna shoot for 8to 9 am
Somehow, some way, I plan to be in either Columbia or Spring Hill by 8 or 9am. It may be earlier than 8am if it's Columbia and anyone wants to go to Sam Watkins' gravesite at Zion Presbyterian Church Cemetery too.
I wouldn't donate the time of day to those clowns. What gives them the right to say what you can or can't have or do?
It's 3.5 hours according to Google maps so I hope to be there fairly early .
