We sure did tour the house. The story of the black iron fence in front of his house is priceless. The firm that did it was from Alabama, I believe, and those that helped make the fence were part of the unit that attacked the 20th Maine on Little Round Top. (15th Alabama)

When the restoration was done years ago, the same firm from Alabama received the contract. Many of those that worked on that fence were relatives of those who fought for the 15th Alabama.

Amazing house, with lots of priceless possessions of Joshua Chamberlain.
