Matthew's Birthday and Andersonville Trip ~ May 2010

Happy birthday, Matthew!


Later on in May, we took a trip to see the Andersonville site. This was a place where, during the Civil War, prisoners from the north were kept. It was very interesting and sad to see.

A spring that was found by one of the men imprisoned there. Thank goodness for that, because otherwise they would've depended upon a filthy little stream that ran through the middle of the compound!

Interesting design to bring spring water to the fountain.

The North Gate~ compound where many prisoners were kept.

The doors were very big and heavy!
