Join Historic Nashville for a tour of Shy’s Hill, the hill on which the decisive encounter of the Battle of Nashville was fought. This tour will be led by Thomas Cartwright, whom is known as one of the leading authorities on the Civil War and the Battle of Franklin.
Mr. Cartwright recently joined in partnership with the Lotz House, a Civil War house museum, to take guests on guided tours of the battlefield. Prior to this entrepreneurial effort, Cartwright was Director of the Carter House from 1997 until 2008. He joined the Carter House in 1989 and was Military Curator and Historian until he was promoted to Director. Thomas Cartwright frequently appears on various documentaries for the History Channel, A&E, Travel Channel, CNN, Discovery, and Preservation Channel.
