The Magnolia House Bed & Breakfast owned by Jimmy and Robbie Smithson, was built circa 1905 on the land that was the site of the Battle of Franklin.

This Craftsman Style home has undergone two renovations; the most recent completed the Spring 1997.

The front porch is shaded by a huge old magnolia tree. From May to July the tree is in full bloom with beautiful large white blossoms that have a wonderful lemon-like fragrance.

There are four spacious guest rooms individually decorated and include fine linens and down comforters and pillows to ensure a wonderful night's sleep.

All rooms have private baths (one with small jacuzzi) and are tastefully decorated with antiques.

The guest rooms adjoin a spacious sitting room with fireplace, furnished with books, magazines, games and refreshments.
