The Lotz House Museum showcases the creativity and talent of Johann Albert Lotz, a classically trained woodworker from Germany who immigrated to Franklin in the mid 1800s. Known for his exquisite ability as a carpenter and piano maker, Lotz converted his home into a showroom for his most prized creations. He also used his skills to create beautiful furniture that still stands in the home today.

In addition to the history of the Lotz family, the museum covers Civil War events in and around Franklin. The museum is open six days a week for tours. Tours are also available on Sundays, but they must be scheduled in advance. Admission is free for children under the age of six.
