I live about 60 miles from this battlefield. I wonder if it is a State Park?

It breaks down like this

Davidson county designates certain points like Negley and Shys Hill and the furthest encampments and batteries both sides

Franklin has the historical preservation and battlefield trust which maintain a fair number of sites and lands

Hoods HQ on Winstead hill facing north on Columbia pike south of the Carter house etc is I think maintained by an SCV chapter and the greenway just north of it by the city of Franklin

It’s all broken up polyglot managed and of course run by liberals since they gravitate to such things like polluting algae

Spring Hill and Thompson Station sites are similar run by local entities I think

Stones River or Battle of Murfreesboro is run by the federals

No there is no park at all, it’s almost all commercialize. You can walk around the outskirts of the Carter House, and a few other areas, but if you want tours of the Carter House grounds you got to pay, If you want to have a tour of the Carnton House about half a mile away you got to pay, but some of the grounds around the Carnton House grounds, or to better say it the property next to it has a walking tour you can walk that has several plaques you can read. A lot of houses and businesses around where they fought.

There’s a small park with a cemetery where the Rebel lines were flanked by the union artillery posted on a bluff across the river. The Rebels carried the field and went on the Nashville but they left their brigadier generals dead on the field.
