The Alabama State Memorial is a handsome piece of art located on South Confederate Ave just past the picnic area and before the dinosaur bridge ( you can see tracks on a few of the red sandstone caps). The 15th Alabama and a couple of other Alabama infantry units (forget which, maybe the 47th and a single-digit unit) fought the 20th Maine on Little Round Top, but that area is closed for major rehab work. Devil's Den re-opened just a few months ago. There may be a marker on Big Round Top to an Alabama unit but you have to look for it.

>Honestly there's been years of debating this and fighting this. But Rutters bought it. They want to put a store in there. And they said if someone wants to pay to move it they're free to do so, but no one ponied up

In Freeport, ME, the town made McDonald's build their restaurant so that the historical building at that location was incorporated into the designs. Rutters should be able to do the same. I hear there is a similar issue with a 100's year old building in Lebanon County. Restaurant chain wants to tear it down and put up a parking lot.
