The Carters & The Carter House

Our great friends, The Carters (Chris, Renee & Maddie) and The Luekens (Cam & Andrea), came to visit us. Anyway, Chris Carter has managed to trace his geneology all the way back to the Civil War; however, he hasn't been able to go back further. What do you do to entertain your guests? Why you take them to The Carter House in Franklin, Tennessee. Here are pics of our visit. It was amazing to say the least. Of course, I minored in History in college so this was fun for me. And I'm glad it was fun for our friends, too. It would be so awesome if Chris were actually related to these individuals!

Real bullett holes. This structure is one of the only remaining structures from the Civil War that is still standing with this many bullett holes. Pretty neat, huh?
