They fought for this ground; now take a piece of it home with you.
Here is your chance to own a piece of history by helping to preserve the Historic
Daniel Lady Farm located at 986 Hanover Road in Gettysburg.
The Gettysburg Battlefield Preservation Association (GBPA) purchased this
historic property in 1999 to preserve the pristine 140 plus acres.
•
Located by Benner’s Run and Wolf’s Hill, the area was known for
Underground Railroad activity. Before the Civil War, over a thousand runaway
slaves escaped through Gettysburg.
• Union General Williams approached from the east, threatening the Confederate
left flank. His presence created the extended “fish hook” of Meade’s
defenses.
• Robert E. Lee was recorded as having stayed at the house on July 1,
1863.
• The famous “Stonewall” brigade, Jones’ brigade,
“Maryland” Steuart’s brigade, Andrew’s artillery battalion
were bivouacked here. Generals Ewell, Early and Johnson planned the cannonade
of Culp’s and E Cemetery Hills on July 2.
• Noted site of a Confederate field hospital.
