Sunday Special Programming

Each Sunday throughout the summer season, Historic Gettysburg-Adams County (HGAC) is on-site. HGAC interprets the design, construction and use of the stunning expression of an iconic, vernacular architectural form—the Pennsylvania Bank Barn. Representatives of HGAC discuss the George Spangler Farm’s restoration in the past decade—from a dilapidated structure in danger of collapse to a visage of its original glory—that revived this important, tangible component of American history.

June 10-12 Living History:

• Civil War Historical Impressions: See Union and Confederate soldiers, Gettysburg civilians, generals and surgeons. Guests can walk through the encampments and see history come alive.
• The Healing: Conversations Between Nurses North and South: A unique portrayal of women who pioneered professional nursing and served during the War Between the States.
