Carnton Plantation and McGavock Confederate Cemetery Description
Randal McGavock, a former mayor of Nashville, owned Carnton Plantation which became a field hospital during the Battle of Franklin in 1864. In 1866, John and Carrie McGavock expressed concern over the burial conditions of the many confederate soldiers who died in the battle. They designated nearly two acres of land near their family cemetery for the re-interment of close to 1,500 Confederates.
