The Gettysburg Pennsylvania Blog

As a former resident of Gettysburg and a 55-year student of the Battle of Gettysburg, and as a great-grandnephew of two Union soldiers in the battle, one of whom was mortally wounded in the Wheatfield and the other of whom was captured in the Fairfield action, I was absolutely shocked and deeply disappointed when last month I visited the new Visitor Center for the first time to find totally absent the “Wall of Faces” that graced with dignity the former center.

This is the first negative thing I’ve heard about the new visitor center since it was erected. I’ve been curious how long it would take before the non-public relations people started talking. The quote was taken from an editorial in the Hanover Evening Sun. Read the rest of it here.

In other news, this is the last day of the York Fair. If you hurry you just might make it by closing time.

And if you really want to know what to do when you’re in Hanover or South Central Pennsylvania this time of year, let Liz and Eli tell you.
