Well, here it is, another year beginning in the "Little Town With The Big History". The previous year saw quite a few changes to the town of Gettysburg and the Battlefield that engulfs it. We opened up a gas station at the corner of Steinweir Avenue & Baltimore Street that was part of that corner in the past but missed so much by the residents and visitors alike; we changed the name of a few existing places, like the Holiday Inn , (now the 1863 Inn of Gettysburg) and The Gingerbread Man Resturant, (now Gettysburg Eddies),  and we'll have to see if there is a difference in how they are embraced by the people who use their facilities; another motel, (Comfort Suites) officially opened between the Pike Resturant and Evergreen Cemetery on Baltimore Pike.

It was quite a year, and now we begin anew. The first New Year Event for 2010 is the appointment of James Robert (Bob) Kirby who is the new Superintendent of Gettysburg National Military Park and the Eisenhower National Historic Site. The announcement came as the new year began on January 8, 2010.
