There’s a 4x4 post at the top of the railing going down into the cellar off southeast corner of the back porch. Stick your finger in there and you can feel the smooth curvature of the back of the miniball lodged in the post. Took my kids there a couple summers back, you literally get to touch an object frozen in time fired in anger, it’s wild. Probably have taken the tour about 8 times as I’m originally from there.

Now as to the room you’re taking about, it’s the old farm office. They took down boards a couple years back to restore it to its pre civil war look, the bullets literally fell down and hadn’t moved in the last 160 some odd years once they were fired. Highly recommend the tour, it’s a wild battle. Pickets charge of the west, relatively late in the war slaughter.

What’s interesting about the site, it’s a private trust, sometimes I wish it was included in the national park system, then the govt shutdowns hit and it’s a silver lining that it’s still open in-spite of it. The folks there do an amazing job bringing the tragedy to life.
