Last Sunday we stopped by the Rogers House that has been turned into the Battle of Richmond Visitors & History Center. This house was built around 1811 by Adam Rogers. The house and its three acres are located where some the heaviest action of Phase II of the Battle of Richmond took place. The house was among many in the area that also served as a recuperation facility for wounded troops. (http://www.battleofrichmond.org/)
It is a beautiful house and they have done a wonderful job with the restoration.
Here are some pictures from the displays inside:
I have the material to make one of these haversacks for Brian. Just need to do it!
You should be able to click on the pictures to enlarge them.
We love learning about the Civil War and the girls absolutely LOVE that time era!We also love that there is so much local history being preserved and on exhibit for us to enjoy!
