Thurs., June 25th Plowshares To Swords: Moses McClean Farm
Presented by Jasan Hileman
Join Licensed Battlefield Guide Jasan Hileman for a comprehensive look at the Moses McClean farm within the Gettysburg National Military Park. Situated along the Mummasburg Road just north of town, the farm location becomes a collision point of contending armies on July 1. Like many of the ‘battlefield farms’, it’s history before and after the battle are largely forgotten. Journey back in time as Jasan reviews the story of the family living on the farm and how they coped with hundreds of troops and horses tramping through their crops, occupying their buildings, and taking their possessions. Through careful research of tax records, property deeds, and damage claims he brings their story alive.
