Thursday, May 28 Did Robert E. Lee Use the Seminary Cupola?
Presented by Codie Eash
For nearly 13 years, since Seminary Ridge Museum opened on July 1, 2013, among visitors’ most asked questions has been, “Did Robert E. Lee use the Seminary Cupola?” Codie Eash, who has been part of the Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center staff since 2012, has pondered that inquiry for the past decade-plus, frequently engaging with inquisitive minds on evidence for and against the Confederate commander’s potential use of Gettysburg’s most famous observation post. Having amassed dozens of primary sources, historians’ perspectives, and statements from Gettysburg National Military Park, Adams County Historical Society, and leading Lee experts, now Codie takes on that question in a standalone program, and invites audience members to draw new conclusions based on the evidence presented.
Codie serves as Director of Education and Interpretation at Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center in Gettysburg, where he has served several roles as a member of the staff since 2012. In 2014, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication/Journalism from Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania, where he also completed a minor in History. In 2024, Codie began working on a Master’s in American History at Gettysburg College through The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. In addition to Museum tours and interpretation, he lectures for American Battlefield Trust conferences, National Park Service sites, historical societies, Civil War roundtables, educational groups, and other organizations. Codie is a founding contributor to Pennsylvania in the Civil War, reviews books for Civil War Monitor and Emerging Civil War, writes articles for W. Britain’s The Standard, and serves on the Gettysburg Magazine editorial board.
Meetings held between September and May begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Adams County Historical Society.
