Kelly Kautzman’s Women’s History Tours At Lotz House

Step into the lives of women during the Civil War era with historian Kelly Kautzman, who leads an hour-long exploration of what daily life looked like for civilians in the 1860s. The tour also shares the personal story of Matilda Lotz, whose experiences as a young girl during this turbulent period shaped her remarkable life. You'll gain a fresh perspective on often-overlooked contributions women made during one of America's most pivotal moments in history. Tickets are $25 for adults and $12 for children. Plan to arrive by 6:15 p.m. for check-in, with the tour beginning at 6:30 p.m. This is a wonderful opportunity for families interested in history to experience the Lotz House—a beautifully crafted 1850s home that witnessed the Battle of Franklin firsthand—through the lens of women's experiences and resilience.
