Our address is 1345 Carnton Lane, Franklin, TN, 37064. From Nashville drive south on Interstate 65 to Highway 96, or Exit 65. At that exit take a right onto Highway 96 and drive west for about three-fourths of a mile. Next take a left onto Mack Hatcher Parkway and head south. At the second traffic light, take a right onto Highway 431. Drive for about three-fourths of a mile and you will see a sign for Carnton. Take a left onto Carnton Lane, drive thru Heath Place subdivision, and take the gravel road up to the historic home.

Directions from the south:

The same as above except when exiting Interstate 65 onto Highway 96, take a left turn instead of a right.

Leave the Carter House parking lot and take a right. Go to the stop sign and take a right and drive just a few hundred feet to the traffic light at Cleburne Street. You will see a sign for Carnton and the Confederate Cemetery at that intersection. Take a left, go thru the stop sign, and take a right onto Lewisburg Avenue. You will also see a sign for Carnton at that intersection. You will cross railroad tracks and go around a slight curve and at Carnton Lane take a right.

Directions from Downtown Franklin:

From the downtown square head along Main Street to Fifth Avenue. At that light, take an immediate left so that the Presbyterian Church will be on your left.
