Battle of Franklin SRS - Final Report

Public Law 109-120, the Franklin National Battlefield Study Act, authorized the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a Special Resource Study for Battle of Franklin related sites in Williamson County, Tennessee. The study is to assess the national significance, suitability, and feasibility of the sites for potential designation as a new unit of the national park system, an addition to an existing unit of the national park system, or other federally designated unit in the State of Tennessee. This report constitutes the results of the study undertaken by the Southeast Regional Office of the National Park Service (NPS).

Based on the analysis conducted during the study, the NPS concludes that Battle of Franklin related resources in the study area meet the criteria for national significance. The NPS is unable, however, to conclude that battle related resources in the study area meet the criteria for suitability, feasibility, or the need for NPS management for the reasons stated in Chapter 3. No further action is proposed for the study area, and therefore no management alternatives were created and no environmental compliance has been performed.

The study was concluded by the Secretary of the Department of the Interior upon transmitting this report to Congress.
