The Story
The Williamson County Public Library retells a sighting of a dark-haired woman in a white dress watching from Carnton’s balcony while a tour passed below. Another story follows an elderly soldier whose boots sound unusually loudly as he patrols the grounds. These accounts belong to the former battlefield hospital’s folklore.
