This view of Stone-Meredith Avenue showcases the striking fall colors of early November. The 7^TH Wisconsin Infantry monument is seen at right, while in the left distance, a smaller and a larger flank marker sit side by side. The monument seen at left is that of the 2^ND Wisconsin Infantry. Beside the 2^ND, part of the bronze brigade marker describing the Iron Brigade’s action in Herbst Woods can be seen.
