Steeped in the Civil War

Living in the historic district of Murfreesboro is to be steeped in the civil war. A major battle was fought here. Many of the houses are pre-civil war (see photos here). You can almost see soldiers in union and confederate uniforms on the porches and in the streets. The guy who put in a couple of phone jacks for us asked if he could come back with his metal detector and look for stuff in our yard. So he came by with his son yesterday. They spent the day scanning and found a bunch of junk, but also a civil war bullet and a piece of lead off of a mortar round.
