Chamberlain House




The Joshua L Chamberlain Museum is an amazing keepsake of Maine history. When walking into the museum one would walk right into a gift shop, which is the only part of the house that is different from when the Chamberlain's lived there. Walking around the house you would get to see pictures of Chamberlain and his family, Chamberlain's army uniform, and original furniture to the home. The people that have put together the museum have done a great job of collecting things of Chamberlains and placing them in the same place where they were wen he lived there. During the tour I learned a lot of interesting infromation about Chamberlain and his family. I enjoyed looking in the office area were there was a collection of his Civil War things. There was his unifom, a picture of his horse and the bollet that shot and injured him during battle. There was many great detials that were put into the house that let people see a different side of Joshua L Chamberlain.
