The Gettysburg National Military Park and the Gettysburg Foundation will be working together this spring to remove modern intrusions from Devil's Den on the Gettysburg battlefield. The Gettysburg Foundation has raised funds to remove the restroom as well as the intrusive utility lines that provide power to it. The Foundation will also bury intrusive overhead utility lines in several areas in the southern part of the battlefield near the historic Althoff, Slyder, and Trostle farms.

As many of you know, we recently welcomed Bob Kirby as the new Superintendent of the Gettysburg National Military Park. He has previously worked as Superintendent of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, a 70,000 acre park located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.  He will speak at the First Corps Breakfast on April 25 about his experiences and his belief that "historic sites are rich classrooms where we can explore our development as a nation."   This will surely be a great opportunity to meet and welcome our new Superintendent and learn about his vision for the future of Gettysburg.

 

This intimate breakfast is open to First Corps Members only. However, it is easy to upgrade!

Please visit the membership section of our website or call the membership department directly at 717-334-3460 Ext. 230.
