The mission of this museum is to provide the public with a Southern perspective of the War Between the States and to educate all generations on the history of the War and its ongoing legacy.

The museum building was designed to resemble a large carriage house, one that might accent the style and age of historic Elm Springs. The interior of the museum features a spacious gift shop and lobby, a research library, and two exhibit halls. The offices of the SCV General Headquarters are located
in this new building. In total, the museum building has 18,500 square feet of usable space with unfinished shell space that can be used for future growth.

Located 2 miles south of Franklin on Columbia Pike (Hwy 31), the Confederate Memorial Park at Winstead Hill is the location of Confederate General John Bell Hood’s headquarters during the Battle of Franklin fought in the evening hours of November 30, 1864.

The Confederate Army of Tennessee formed at the foot of Winstead Hill and stepped off at 4 p.m. to begin the march northward to attack the Federal earthworks south of Franklin in one of the bloodiest battles of the war.

The property, owned by the Sons of the Confederate Veterans, is the home for 14 monuments and 4 metal plaques for individuals and states with troops or individuals who participated in the Battles of Franklin, including the April 1863 battle.

The park is open 365 days a year from dawn to dusk. There is no admission fee but donations are greatly appreciated for maintenance.
