Congrats on retiring! It was an honor to work with you

Wish I could be there for the Anniversary. I probably think about the battle at least once a day. It’s hard not to be drawn to the story and the memories attached to that place. Thank you for all you folks do to keep Franklin alive and a part of the American story.

Beth is a tremendous person and employee! It is a great pleasure to know you! This was a really good video.

Great video and good luck in your retirement. Thank you.

Thank you both for this video and your commentary. My 3rd great-grandfather Jackson “Hawkeye” Griffin died in this battle and was not found/identified. I agree that it was senseless. We can and should all learn from this so that history doesn’t repeat itself.

Thanks Beth!

What about the Union entrenchments...they were built quick but impressive across Columbia Hwy in Franklin before the battle.
