Harlinsdale Farm was formerly a renowned horse-breeding farm, home of the famous Walking Horse, “Midnight Sun,” and is scheduled to become a Franklin city park. During the Army of Tennessee’s retreat from Nashville, this land was the site of heavy fighting between Confederate infantry and Federal cavalry on December 17th. On the high knoll across Nashville Pike from Harlinsdale was the Turnpike Fort, a part of the Fort Granger complex. |
