. Winstead Hill Park is a 61-acre area located south of downtown Franklin. Like many attractions in the city, the park is steeped in rich Civil War history. The peaceful wooded area was once a gathering place for Confederate troops under the command of General Hood. Hood's soldiers were members of the Army of Tennessee, a group of men who fought in the 1864 Battle of Franklin.

An overlook at Winstead Hill Park contains an informative battle map as well as a memorial to the Confederate generals who died in combat. Winstead Hill Park also has a short nature trail, restrooms, and areas for wildlife and bird watching.
