The Battle of Franklin Trust runs 60-minute classic guided house tours through the day for walk-in visitors, usually every 30–40 minutes, plus 90-minute options including a battlefield tour, an extended house-and-grounds tour, a Founding-to-Civil-War tour and a tour focused on the people enslaved at Carter House.
