Autumn's Flat Stanley in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania!

Hello! We arrived in Gettysburg Thursday morning! I came to Gettysburg with Ginny and some of her friends. We brought their horses so we could ride the Gettysburg battlefield.

The battle of Gettysburg was a turning point of the Civil War. The  southern Confederate army was defeated by the norther Union Army.


Thursday night we ate dinner at the Farnsworth house. It is named for Union General Elon John Farnsworth who was killed in an ill fated charge against a confederate division near little round top. If you look closely at the brick walk near the Farnsworth sign, you can see bullet marks in the bricks.
