The Battle of Hartsville has been called "the most successfully executed cavalry raid of the War Between the States." From this battle, Col. John Hunt Morgan received his commission as a brigadier general. The seventeen-stop driving tour includes buildings that were used as hospitals after the seventy-five-minute battle, a river crossing where Morgan rushed 1,834 prisoners across the Cumberland towards Lebanon, Tennessee, rendezvous points, homes, and a cemetery.
