Located at 1259 Columbia Pk. (US31), this one acre park is a monument to the Assault on the Cotton Gin during the Civil War Battle of Franklin. Carter's Cotton Gin was across Cleburne St. and had been called the battles' epicenter. The City of Franklin purchased the land in 2005 to construct the memorial park.
Franklin created this 5 minute Youtube video for an audio tour:
