The ladies will like the period furniture, and the men will like the bullet holes, cannon and grapeshot holes that I have photographed through out the house. The second owner bought the house just after the Civil War ended. He determined to leave the battle damage in the house. If you want to see the battle damage you will have to cycle through the "older posts" tags at the bottom of each page.
This is a view of the garden from the east, you would have seen the house from this view if you were a union soldier. The broad leafed plant to the left in this photo is tobacco.
This is my wife Bridget leaning on the garden gate. She's a cutie isn't she? I think so even after 20 years. Such a kind face, a real "southeron belle".
This is a diorama inside the museum next door. The hemp bales were four times this size, and were wet. It would take several men to roll one. That is exactly what the confederate troops did, they used them as rolling breastworks to attack the union trenches east of the house.
