The Columns: "The Skirmish At Gamble's Hotel depicts an encounter that occurred on March 5, 1865 when 500 federal soldiers, under the command of Colonel Reuben Williams of the 12th Indiana Infantry, marched into the Florence area to destroy the railroad depot. These federal troops were met by a group of Confederate soldiers who drove them away with the help of 400 reinforcements from the area home guard.
The Columns is another name for The Harwell House, a beautiful antebellum home that dates back over 100 years. The popular name refers to the 22 Greek style, Doric columns that surround the home on three sides."
