Candlelight Illumination

For the 161st anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg this year, Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center is honored to again host a candlelight illumination as part of our annual 24 Hours on the Ridge event. For two hours on the evening of November 1, five hundred luminaria will line the historic tan bark path leading to Schmucker Hall, memorializing the soldiers, broken in battle, who sought refuge and care in the Seminary building in the summer of 1863. Throughout the evening, patient names will be read from the historic steps of the building.
