EVENT INFORMATION

 


SUMMER IN THE FIELD PROGRAMS

Thursday, July 27 (Rain date Monday, July 31) 6 pm to 7:30 or later.

Larry Korcyzk will lead us on a tour of the Wheatfield. Because the Wheatfield fighting is so complicated we have decided to do one part of it this year and the rest next year, so this tour is Wheatfield — Part 1.

We are to meet Larry on Sickles Aveneue as you approach The Stony Hill. The easiest route will be to take the Wheatfield Road, turn right on Ayres Avenue, follow the road around to the stop sign and take a right. Park as close to the wayside marker as is possible at Tourt Stop #9. Looking to your right you should clearly see the guns of Winslow's Battery.

Remember, when parking in the GNMP, keep all four tires off the grass.

Thursday, Auguast 31 (Rain date Thursday, September 7) 6 pm to 7:30 or later.

We are fortunate to be led by Dr. Carol Reardon on a very special tour of the Spangler Farm.

We are to meet and park at the farm. Take the Baltimore Pike and turn right onto Granite Schoolhouse Lane (one right turn beyond the entrance to the Park Visitor's Center). Take a left onto Blaksmith Shop Road (you cannot take a right). And take a right into the Farm, the entrance to which is well marked.


Reynolds Woods Witness Tree Pen Set for Sale

In 1987, the CWRT of Gettysburg bought a slab of the Witness Tree that fell in the Reynolds Woods. They used it to create wood bases for a pen set. Recently these wood bases were rediscovered and the CWRT has made the pen sets available again for purchase. For more information, or to place an order, please see our Witness Tree Pen Set Flyer.
