Description
On the west side of Carnton plantation stands a giant Osage Orange tree. It is called the Witness Tree because it saw the bloody battle of Franklin and the many wounded and dying on that late afternoon and into the night. The tree has stood there since before the Civil War.and has witnessed many happy times and a lot of sad times. The tree and plantation house are a treasured part of Southern history.
