About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, up to 6 guests, with hotel pickup — real Civil War sites at Spring Hill, Thompson's Station, Winstead Hill, Franklin Battlefield, Fort Granger, and Fort Negley. This is a private tour for your group only, up to 6 guests. Real Civil War sites covered include Spring Hill, Thompson's Station, Winstead Hill, Franklin Battlefield, Fort Granger, and Fort Negley.

On November 29, 1864, Confederate forces reached Spring Hill and tried to cut Union General Schofield's retreat to Nashville, but failed to block the road, and the Union troops marched past during the night. The next afternoon at Franklin, from Winstead Hill, General Hood ordered a frontal assault against fortified Union lines.

The Confederates made as many as eighteen charges over about five hours and suffered roughly 7,000 casualties from a force of about 23,000, against about 2,500 Union losses from around 15,000 men, according to commonly cited figures. Of the 100 Confederate regimental commanders, 63 were killed or wounded, and six generals died. The battle has been called the five bloodiest hours of the Civil War.

Fort Negley in Nashville was built from August to December 1862 by more than 2,700 conscripted laborers, mostly contrabands and free Black men. Estimates say between 600 and 800 of the laborers died across the city's fortification works, and many were never paid. It was designated a UNESCO Site of Memory in May 2019. Fort Granger, built in 1862 in Franklin, directed heavy artillery fire during the 1864 battle.
