My 14 year old son would like to travel to the Williamson County, Tennessee area on the 4th of July. He is interested in seeing any Civil War Battlefields and other Civil War sites. What is there? Who should I contact? Would anything be open on Wednesday - the 4th of July? Thanks, Colleen Taylor Researching the HARDING - GATLIN- STEWART(STUART) families of early Williamson County
