2009 Year End in Gettysburg

I thought I would end the year by remembering all the happenings on and around the battlefield. Be sure to view the updated photographs of the Klingle Farm (Below). The Sarah Patterson House (pg.3) also has seen some renovation activities during the last few months. Click their title line article Updated in the journal pages to view the newest photos. Tree cutting did not stop entirely yet, see the photos below of the newest activity. It's been busy here in town, events from Halloween until Christmas were happening and I'll enter them here and then say goodbye to the old and prepare to ring in the New Year.

The tree cutting will go on until the deadline, which is scheduled in the new year. Active cutting is still going on in areas of the battlefield.

The trees come down all over the battlefield due to lightning strikes or age, this one (on East Confederate Avenue) laid in this same spot for weeks even though the trees were being cut down across the road.

These trees were felled during the early fall months.This road leads you through a beautiful, heavily wooded area towards Spangler Spring.

These Georgia boys showed up for a photo op at their state monument.

The members of the 9th Pennsylvania Reserves visit their monument.

The 9th Pennsylvania Reserves. Their story is one of my favorites, read on

November was celebrated in Gettysburg with parades and ceremonies and speeches that honored all those who served in this battle. This is Remembrance Day in Gettysburg and it's worth a chilly trip here to witness these re-enactments and remember well what "they" did here.
