Grape Shot in the Door Moulding
Our tour guide held a flashlight up to a hole in the door moulding that contains a grape shot from the battle.
Surgery in Anderson House
These were the tools of the trade for army surgeons during the Civil War, It is doubtful that the confederates had anything this good. The Union medical officers working in Anderson House most likely did.

Damage to the Upper East Porch
My wife and oldest son are listening to the state tour guide describe the battle. Damage from the battle can be clearly seen in the wall behind them.
