Quick Facts

Location:

This photograph was taken near United States Avenue.

The scene in this series of photos shows the Trostle barn, made famous by the large cannonball hole in the brick facade. By comparing the two photos, one can see just how many dead horses littered the property where Bigelow’s 9th Massachusetts Battery was overrun by the 21st Mississippi Infantry. This photo was captured by Timothy O’Sullivan.

This photograph is part of a series of Then & Now photos of the Trostle Farm.
