This Gettysburg historical site couldn’t be more obvious—yet hardly anyone knows about it. Embedded in the sidewalk on the east side of Baltimore Street between Middle and High streets, Penelope is a small artillery piece that is a relic from the Warof 1812. Penelope was used during the war to announce American victories, and remained in use after ...
There are a number of “Witness Trees” located on the Gettysburg battlefield and in the Gettysburg National Cemetery, but did you know there is also one on a busy street in the town of Gettysburg?
I always take visitors to the Coster Avenue Mural site when giving a tour, because it’s a Gettysburg historic site that is rarely visited. A small group of Union troops held the site, which was a brickyard, long enough to protect the retreat as Confederates swept through from the north. There were about 800 casualties, with the 27th Pennsylvania lo...
Further up Stratton Street beside the Gettysburg Fire Departmentstation, stands a monument to one of Coster’s soldiers who fell near this spot. This stone is the only monument to an individual enlisted man on the battlefield of Gettysburg. Strangely, the news of this soldier’s death was the beginning of a far-reaching story that traveled throughout...
These Gettysburg historical sites are a bit more hidden, but they are still worth making the effort to see them. Because Gettysburg is such a famous town, it has been visited by more than two dozen Presidents. When Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in November of 1863 to dedicate the Gettysburg National Cemetery, he attended a church service at th...
The Presidential pews are not the only Gettysburg historic treasures to be found at this particular Presbyterian Church. The first 50-star flag of the United States is also on display, preserved in glass in the church entry. For those who don’t presidential history, General “Ike” Eisenhower was elected the 34thpresident in 1952. To honor his positi...
St. Francis Xavier Catholic Churchon High Street in Gettysburg was erected in 1853 and served as a hospital during the Civil War. Between 200 and 250 of the most seriously injured from the battle’s aftermath were treated at the church by the Nuns from the Sisters of Charity in nearby Emmitsburg, Md. These good Samaritans are now memorialized in one...
Just down the street from the Catholic Church on High Street stands The Academy Bed and Breakfast. Like a handful other Gettysburg historical sites, this building carries the proof of the Battle of Gettysburg with an artillery shell that is still lodged in the brick exterior. Other buildings that still have artillery shells include: ➡️ A cannonball...
Many people don’t realize that the town itself is a vital part of the battlefield, where Union and Confederate forces fought in its streets after the Union line retreated on July 1. Many buildings, both public and private, served as hospitals during the battle and still show signs of damage. While downtown Gettysburg has modern and commercial eleme...
Gettysburg College, initially founded as Pennsylvania College in 1832, played a notable role during the Civil War in July 1863. When Governor Andrew Curtin urgently called for volunteers on June 15 due to General Lee’s invasion of Pennsylvania, around half of the college’s students, about 54 in number, formed Company A, 26th Regiment, Pennsylvania ...
