Visit to Franklin

Nice to see they fixed/replaced the "trail" of the cannon at the top of Shy's hill. This is what it looked like when I was there (been a year or two need to go back)View attachment 546477

It's playing mortar! If they load it for me, I'll take it home.

It's been a long time since I've been to Franklin. Thank you for sharing those pictures.

Franklin is the best example of a battlefield that was almost totally lost but which, thanks to the dedication of many people, has been at least partially regained. I remember how happy I was watching the video of the parking lot of that Pizza Hut being jackhammered apart.

It makes me wonder if anything similar might be done to small portions of the Atlanta battlefields.

Another battlefield checked off the list. It was a very enjoyable tour. All the staff were very well informed and did an excellent job telling the tale of the terrible battle that occurred there.

No more Pizza Hut thanks to CWPT (now ABT).
