They're renovating the hotel, and it should be pretty fantastic as they keep it going. The cannonball in the floor is pretty neat.
[Justin, 04/16/2023]This attraction is no longer free. It costs $6 per person for a half hour self-guided tour.
[Catherine Blackford, 10/17/2015]This Civil War attraction is inside the Cedar Grove B&B. You need to walk up the entrance and into the B&B and ask to see the cannonball. If the staff are not busy they are happy to show you, but if they are dealing with their guests it can be tricky (So don't arrive at check out or check in time).

A Civil War cannonball is still lodged in the wall at Cedar Grove Mansion. The mansion was used as a Union hospital during the Civil War. It still has most of its original furnishings.
