Course Description

The George Spangler Farm in Gettysburg is truly a place of reverence on hallowed ground. In July 1863, the farm was nearly destroyed when the Union 11th Corps medical staffers took control of it, transforming the property into a field hospital for more than 1,900 wounded soldiers during and after the battle. This class will tell the heartbreaking and devastating story of the Spanglers and how their farm played a pivotal role in the battle as a hospital, transportation hub and staging area for those who labored to save lives and those who suffered and died there. Other farms were the sites of more combat than the Spangler Farm, and some were literally destroyed. But no single farm played a more strategic and important role during the battle than the Spangler Farm.
