Volunteer with The Battle of Franklin Trust

There are a number of opportunities throughout the year to volunteer with The Battle of Franklin Trust.

Please use the form at the bottom of this page to sign up or express interest in volunteering.

Two of the most impactful days of every year at the Battle of Franklin Trust are November 29 and November 30 regardless of the day of week in which they fall.  These are the anniversaries of the Battle of Spring Hill, and the Battle of Franklin. 

Each year the Trust commemorates these anniversaries with various programs, including condensed guided tours through each property.  2024 is the 160 anniversaries of the Battles of Spring Hill and Franklin, and we need volunteers to prepare in October and also day of and evening, Saturday, November 30.   

If you are interested in being more than just a spectator for this year’s 160 Anniversary effort, please contact Emily@boft.org and share your which project below you are interested and available:

Volunteer Projects in Franklin Include:

  • October (multiple dates) – low impact, sitting, stuffing, and stacking in a temperature-controlled space.

  • Saturday, November 30 – Luminary distribution across battlefield, set out and also pick up.  Some bending and squatting required, but not heavy lifting.  Location is outside regardless of temperature, some pavement, mostly uneven battlefield.
