This park has a great view of the city of downtown Franklin and seeing where the battle was. Plus very informative on the way up. The hike up the hill was not hard.
If you want to get an idea of what the Confederate army faced marching toward the disaster at the battle of Franklin, you can see it here. Monuments to the 5 dead generals and a good interpretation of the battle. A great stop on your tour of the Battle of Franklin.
Loved the metal map at the top of the hill. Really gave you a great perspective on the area. Grounds well kept.
Simply put, "Well, Govan, if we must die, let us die like men." General Patrick Cleburne. Great view of the mile march to The Carter a House.
Drive out to Breezy Hill and see all of Franklin with the most scenic view! Park and walk through the park and witness the view that some of the civil war soldiers saw as they marched and fought their way up Columbia Pike.
Beautiful view of Franklin (?) and battlefield, plus Ft. Granger. Entire battle is laid out on relief map at pavilion overlooking the plain. Memorial markers to the six Confederate Generals who fell at Franklin on site and very compelling.
This park area has some old monuments and lovely overlooking views of Franklin Battlefield area, quiet place, but not for anyone with walking difficulties.
Hard to believe this used to overlook the entire area; everything has grown up around it. Read the memorials to each of the Confederate Generals; interesting insights to the politics of the Confederacy.
If you are a Civil War buff then this is a must see. Winstead Hill was the command post for General Hood during the epic battle of Franklin on Nov. 30th 1864, From this point General Hood a a commanding view of the entire battlefield in to Franklin. There is a overlook with a 3d map showing the key points of the battle. There are also monuments for each of the six Confederate Generals that dies in the battle plus other monuments spread out over the park. This is the Southern entrance into Franklin and leads to many other Civil War sites in town.
Beautiful memorial and park, great view, this a must stop. Good parking and bathroom facilities. Bring binoculars to pick out Franklin landmarks.
