I often ask myself to define just what makes a historic site so important to preserve. Is it the grounds upon which so many thousands of soldiers and leaders fought, suffered, and died which we preserve and protect for future generations? Is it the historical homes and structures that we preciously maintain to allow our guests to personally experience life and livelihood as it was in the 19th century? Is it the pictures and artifacts that find their home in historic structures such as Rippavilla? Could it be the skilled presentation of the stories and fact-based narrative surrounding the people and events which defined this complex period in our history and its aftermath? Or is it a combination of all of the above, which enables our guests to explore the continuing relevance of the American saga during the formative years of our nation. We, at The Battle of Franklin Trust, firmly believe that we have the talent and experience, the tools and resources, and the vital relationships to maximize the value and importance of sites such as Rippavilla, particularly in this time of expansive dialogue and transformational work throughout the field of historical preservation and interpretation.

  • Pre-1850 Paint in Historic Properties
    PRE-1850 PAINT IN HISTORIC PROPERTIES: TREATMENT OPTIONS AND PROCESSES by JESSICA PARKER DOCKERY (Under the direction of Mark Reinberger) ABSTRACT This thesis addresses the problem of how administrators of historic properties should deal with early paint at their property. A history of paint making and application, as well as a discussion of paint color trends in America, what options are available to administrators of historic sites, and the process of paint analysis are included. Case studies are used as examples of different approaches taken at some historic sites. The recommendation is made that all historic sites should conduct thorough paint analysis before any changes are made to paint finishes, and any decorative finishes should be protected for future examination before any repainting is conducted. If a complete paint restoration is not feasible, the historic site should, at the very least, attempt a rehabilitation using historically accurate colors based on paint analysis.

    Truth or Fiction — With This Pledge 1 of 10 A CARNTON NOVEL (book 2) by Tamera Alexander Are you interested in knowing what’s TRUTH and what’s FICTION in With This Pledge? Then you’ve come to the right place! But be forewarned . ** SPOILERS ABOUND ** Reading this document will reveal several of the twists and turns —and surprises—in the novel. So if you haven't read With This Pledge yet, you may not want to read what's truth and what's fiction. Unless, of course, you're one of those people! : ) Enjoy! Dear friend, Thanks for taking a journey with me to historic Carnton in Franklin, Tennessee in With This Pledge, a Carnton Novel—Captain Roland Ward Jones and Elizabeth (Lizzie) Clouston’s love story set against the real history surrounding the Battle of Franklin (November 30, 1864). www.TameraAlexander.com copyrighted material Truth or Fiction — With This Pledge 2 of 10 A CARNTON NOVEL (book 2) by Tamera Alexander This novel—my 16th—is unlike any I’ve written before. Because both of the two main characters are based on real people who truly lived. Captain Roland Jones, a Mississippi sharpshooter, and Lizzie Clouston, the governess at the Carnton home, met on November 30, 1864 following the Battle of Franklin—the night that brought the Confederacy to its knees. This novel was intimidating to write. But God, who is always faithful, was with me very step of the way and directed me to the people I needed to connect with in order to write this true love story.
