The Gettysburg National Military Park Puts Preservation Dollars to Good Use!
Fiscal year 2010, which just ended, was a banner year for project fundraising for the Gettysburg National Military Park because it included National Park Service repair/rehabilitation funds, Federal Highway funds for road projects and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds (ARRA.)
We wanted to update you on two structures you may be familiar with, as they are visible structures on the battlefield: the Daniel Klingel House and the Groft-Spangler Barn.
The Park has been working on an extensive rehabilitation project on the Daniel Klingel farm house. The project has included foundation repairs, new concrete floors,  preservation and repair of historic logs, rechinking and daubing of the logs, preservation of interior plaster, preservation of the interior moldings, repairing of all windows, new plumbing, new electrical, new mechanical systems, new roofing, new kitchen and new bathroom. The project cost $292,500 and is a ARRA project.
The Park also continues to do preservation work on the Groft-Spangler barn at East Cavalry battlefield, including structural repairs and rehabilitation of the exterior. This barn was in very poor shape but is now looking much better.
