Delegates from Sekigahara Battlefield Visit Gettysburg National Military Park
Now preserved as a military park, Sekigahara Battlefield is remembered as one of the largest samurai battles in history, when 160,000 opposing eastern and western factions of samurai fought on and around a strategic mountain pass. On October 21, 1600, the Eastern Army of Tokugawa Ieyasu successfully defeated the Western Army of Ishida Mitsunari and so began more than 200 years of peace in Japan. Learn more about the Battle of Sekigahara on Gettysburg National Military Park’s website.
On July 18, Sekigahara Battlefield delegates enjoyed a viewing of the film A New Birth of Freedom, experienced the light and sound show of the Gettysburg Cyclorama and explored the Gettysburg Museum of the American Civil War in the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum & Visitor Center. Following a tour of the Gettysburg battlefield, the delegates enjoyed time behind the scenes to view artifacts not currently on exhibit, preserved and cared for by Gettysburg National Military Park and the Gettysburg Foundation.
On July 19, the delegates had the opportunity to explore the Gettysburg Lincoln Railroad StationTM, owned and operated by Gettysburg Foundation, where they experienced Gettysburg through virtual reality technology in Ticket to the Past—Unforgettable Journeys. On September 5, 2016, this historic station hosted the signing ceremony to celebrate the new Sister Park relationship between Gettysburg National Military Park and the historic Sekigahara Battlefield along with the Sister City relationship between the Borough of Gettysburg and Sekigahara, Japan.
The Japanese delegation visit fosters cultural exchange and strengthens international ties with Gettysburg National Military Park, the Gettysburg Foundation and the Borough of Gettysburg. The delegation also visited the Gettysburg Borough Hall and other businesses in town and experienced a comprehensive understanding of Gettysburg’s significance and impact on American history. Their visit is representative of the Gettysburg Foundation’s efforts to reach new and international audiences through fostering collaboration and mutual promotion of historical and cultural attractions. Gettysburg National Military Park and the Gettysburg Foundation encourage visitors to learn the significance of such momentous historical events from different countries and cultures for a more holistic and informed view about our shared human heritage.

Borough of Gettysburg
Borough Council Public Hearing Agenda
July 22, 2024 – 6:30 PM
Special Council Meeting – Public Hearing on Proposed Use of
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds
2
NOTICE OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION MEETING
FOR DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE
USES OF FUNDS FROM THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Borough of Gettysburg will conduct a public
participation meeting on Monday, July 22, 2024 at 6:30 PM at a special meeting of the Borough
Council, in order to discuss community needs for funding under the fiscal year 2024 State
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. This meeting’s purpose is to solicit
citizen input on possible activities to be included in these applications, as well as past
performance. The meeting will be held at the Gettysburg Municipal Building, 59 East High
Street, Troxell Council Chambers, Gettysburg, PA 17325
Gettysburg Borough will receive an allocation of $127,011 in FY2024 CDBG funds from the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Gettysburg Borough’s CDBG funds may be used to benefit
a variety of activities including water and sewer systems, streets, housing rehabilitation,
emergency housing assistance, recreation and community facilities, new public services,
historic preservation, removal of architectural barriers, blight removal, economic development,
and administration and planning. The Borough must demonstrate that approved projects (1)
benefit low to moderate income persons, (2) remove slums or blight, or (3) meet an urgent
community need.
The Borough anticipates submitting an application through the County of Adams under the
State FY2024 Entitlement CDBG Program. It is anticipated that no less than 70% of the
approved grant funds will benefit low to moderate income persons. Further, it is anticipated that
none of the proposed activities will result in temporary or permanent displacement of any
households. However, in the event that displacement should occur, the Borough’s policy for
minimizing such displacement would be in effect. Gettysburg Borough is responsible for
replacing all low and moderate income housing units that may be demolished or converted as a
result of the use of CDBG funds.
The purpose of this public hearing is to give citizens an opportunity to make their comments
known regarding what types of eligible activities Gettysburg Borough should apply for under
the State CDBG programs. A separate public meeting will be held August 26, 2024, to approve
the final application and budget allocation amounts.
Anyone requiring special accommodations to participate in the public hearing, or anyone with
limited English language proficiency requiring translation services, should contact Sara Stull,
Assistant Borough Manager, by phone at (717) 334-1160 x240 or by email at

Gettysburg National Military Park Announces Upcoming Road Paving Project
GETTYSBURG, PA – Beginning Monday July 29, park roads on the eastern portion of the battlefield in the Culp’s Hill and Spangler’s Spring areas, Coster Avenue, and Benner Hill will be repaved. This three-month project will address road surfaces that are at the end of their lifespan.
This project requires road closures that will temporarily interrupt the ability to visit portions of the battlefield while work is ongoing. A mix of daytime and nighttime work will occur. Park roads may be fully closed, intermittently closed, or reduced to a single lane of traffic. No work is expected to occur on weekends or federal holidays, but this is subject to change due to adverse weather conditions.
Daytime roadwork that will affect normal visitation includes:
Wainwright Avenue: August 5 to 7 – Full Closure.
Entire Culp’s Hill/Spangler’s Spring area, including all feeder roads: August 8 to 14 – Intermittent Closure or Single Lane of Traffic.
Entire Culp’s Hill/Spangler’s Spring area, including all feeder roads: September 2 to 4 – Full Closure.
Culp’s Hill Tower Road and parking: September 5 to 6 – Full Closure.
Wainwright Avenue: September 9 to 10 – Full Closure.
Coster Avenue: September 11 – Full Closure.
Benner Hill: September 12 – Full Closure.
Entire Culp’s Hill/Spangler’s Spring area, including all feeder roads: September 26 to 31 – Intermittent Closure or Single Lane of Traffic.
Other Park roads in the area will be repaved during evening and nighttime hours and will have little to no effect on normal visitation. A road closure map will be provided, via the park website at www.nps.gov/gett, so visitors can plan their visit accordingly.
Scheduled paving dates are subject to change. Every effort will be made to complete the work as expeditiously as possible as well as minimize disruptions for park visitors. Full details on the schedule of road work will be made available on the park website and social media platforms as details become available.

Homesteading Event 2024
Gettysburg – 
The Adams County Farmers Market and Gettysburg Green Gathering have once again partnered to host their Homesteading & Green Living Expo on July 13, 2024, at the Gettysburg Rec Park.
Gettysburg Green Gathering (GGG), in partnership with Adams County Farmers Market (ACFM) and the Gettysburg Rec Park, will be hosting their Homesteading & Green Living Expo on Saturday, July 13, 2024 from 8am-1pm in conjunction with the regularly scheduled farmers market.
The Expo has grown, and in 2024 will include more vendors, demonstrations, and resources. Some of the new vendors scheduled to attend in 2024 include Thomason’s Herb Farm, an East Berlin-based business with a focus on herb gardens; The Fertrell Company, highlighting their organic fertilizers; and Ethical Energy, a group specializing in residential solar panels. Many of last year’s groups will be returning as well, including the Watershed Alliance of Adams County, the Land Conservancy of Adams County, and the Electric Vehicle Association of Greater Washington DC, who will have information about electric vehicles and various EV models on display.
Another highlight of this year’s event will be a presentation and demonstration by Debbie Naha-Koretzky, also known as “The Wild Edibles Lady.” Naha-Koretzky, author of Foraging Pennsylvania and New Jersey: Finding, Identifying, and Preparing Edible Wild Foods, will be offering a presentation on foraging edible plants at 10:00am. This will be followed by a walk around the park, where Naha-Koretzky will take a group to look for and identify wild foods.
“I think one of the most important aspects of this event is that it brings the best of the old and new together,” said ACFM Market Manager Reza Djalal. “It’s important for people to see the value of traditional homesteading knowledge, as well as the benefits of emerging renewable technologies. These two things together can be really incredible.”
Organizers hope that the Homesteading & Green Living Expo will help foster the creation and growth of new, sustainable businesses in Adams County that will be able to offer affordable services to the community. “The Gettysburg Green Gathering is really excited for this year’s event, as we have a diverse group of vendors that are offering real-world actionable steps people can take to lower their environmental footprint at a local level,” said Gettysburg Green Gathering board chair Matt Crowner. “With our partnership with the Adams County Farmers Market we are able to reach all sorts of Adams County community members that may not typically participate in an event like ours.” This event and educational activities are free to attend.
Anyone interested in learning more can visit the GGG website at www.gettysburggreengathering.com or the ACFM website at www.acfarmersmarkets.org.

Gettysburg launches Black History Trail
Community effort highlights often ‘overlooked history’
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania – June 26, 2024
The diverse people, places and stories that make up the tapestry of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania are celebrated within the new Gettysburg Black History Trail that launched June 26.
Eleven locations on the self-guided trail paint a picture of Gettysburg’s Black heritage. From museums and historic downtown sites to the hallowed ground of the battlefield, each stop on the trail illustrates a chapter in the storied past of Gettysburg’s Black community.
“To highlight this overlooked history is such a wonderful experience for the many visitors who travel to Gettysburg each year,” said Jean Green, president of the Lincoln Cemetery Project Association, one of the partners who helped shape the trail. “They will be amazed at the rich Black history that is now highlighted for them through the Black History Trail.”
Guided by a digital trail on their mobile devices, users can walk in the footsteps of local historical figures. Basil Biggs, Abraham Brian, Jack and Julia Hopkins, Margaret Palm and Thaddeus Stevens are among the legacies honored in this collaborative community effort.
The Gettysburg Black History Trail locations are:
-
- Abraham Brian Farm, Hancock Avenue, Gettysburg National Military Park
- Gettysburg Beyond the Battle Museum, 625 Biglerville Road
- Gettysburg Lincoln Railroad Station: Ticket to the Past – Unforgettable Journeys,35 Carlisle St.
- Gettysburg National Military Park Museum & Visitor Center, 1195 Baltimore Pike
- Gettysburg National Cemetery, 97 Taneytown Road, Gettysburg National Military Park
- The Jack & Julia Hopkins House, 219 South Washington St.
- Lincoln Cemetery, intersection of Lincoln and Long lanes
- Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center, 111 Seminary Ridge
- St. Paul AME Zion Church, 269 South Washington St.
- Thad’s Place: Home of the Thaddeus Stevens Museum, 46 Chambersburg St.,
- James Warfield House, 60-114 Millerstown Road, Gettysburg National Military Park
The Gettysburg Black History Trail is the result of a partnership among Adams County Historical Society, Destination Gettysburg, Gettysburg Black History Museum, Gettysburg Foundation, Gettysburg National Military Park, Lincoln Cemetery Project Association, Seminary Ridge Historic Preservation Foundation, and Thaddeus Stevens Society.
“We are pleased to partner with so many community organizations to bring to life this great educational initiative,” said Wayne E. Motts, president emeritus and historian of the Gettysburg Foundation. “After years of work and thought by many individuals and groups, the Gettysburg Black History Trail is available for visitors around the world to experience on a digital platform.”
The trail guide can be found on Destination Gettysburg’s digital platform alongside its Pour Tour and Crop Hop trails. Users can sign up for their free digital passport at BlackHistoryTrail.com.
“The epic battle that took place here represented a fight for freedom,” Destination Gettysburg President and CEO Karl Pietrzak said. “The experiences and contributions of the Black community are an integral part of Gettysburg’s story, and our hope is that the Gettysburg Black History Trail amplifies that message.”

United Way of Adams County’s 77th Anniversary – Give. Advocate. Volunteer. Awards 2024
United Way of Adams County held their 77th Anniversary, Give. Advocate. Volunteer. Awards on June 19th at the Adams County Emergency Services Center in Gettysburg. In this, the “With Heart in Hand” Nominees and Award Recipients were honored.
Ceremonial Ribbon Cutting Held to Celebrate the Reopening of Little Round Top
Little Round Top is expected to reopen to the public later this afternoon.
The project enhances access to a more extensive, safe, and accessible trail system that allows visitors to experience the area’s monuments, cannons, and other areas of interest. Gathering areas across the summit will better accommodate the many large groups arriving by bus. Eroded soils have been stabilized and re-vegetated. New interpretive waysides throughout the area tell the story of those who suffered, died, and memorialized the battlefield. In addition, satellite parking has been expanded and formalized in the area with access to the trail system.
Funding for the project represents a mix of federal funds and generous donations. The total cost of the project was $12.9 million, of which $5.2 million came from donations from the Gettysburg Foundation, National Park Foundation, and the American Battlefield Trust.
“We extend our deepest thanks and gratitude to our philanthropic partners at the Gettysburg Foundation, National Park Foundation, and the American Battlefield Trust. Their dedication, vision, and support of this project made it possible” said Kristina Heister, superintendent of Gettysburg National Military Park and Eisenhower National Historic Site. “After a twenty-two-month closure, we are thrilled to welcome the American public back to the most iconic location on the battlefield. It is an area where visitors can truly experience a meaningful connection to the past and understand the sacrifices made to protect our freedoms. We are confident that, with the help of the visiting public, the improvements to Little Round Top will provide an amazing experience for generation of visitors to come.”
“The Gettysburg Foundation is excited about the reopening of Little Round Top and the work that the National Park Service has completed to rehabilitate the landscape, monuments, and trails there,” said Gettysburg Foundation interim president & CEO David Malgee. “We are proud to have supported this extensive project as the official non-profit partner of the National Parks at Gettysburg and are truly thankful for the many enhancements to “the hill” that will inspire visitors for generations to come,” added Malgee.
“Gettysburg veteran and Medal of Honor recipient Joshua Chamberlain noted that ‘In great deeds something abides. On great fields something stays’ and there are few landscapes for which that power of place is more tangible than Little Round Top.” said American Battlefield Trust President David Duncan. “Now revitalized and enhanced, it stands ready to welcome this and future generations, a place where they can feel a meaningful connection to the past.”
“Modernizing and improving visitor access to Little Round Top protects this hallowed ground and ensures that future generations can explore this place where history was made, and better understand how the battle of Gettysburg shaped our nation,” said National Park Foundation President and CEO Will Shafroth. “I am grateful for the generosity of John L. Nau, III and the partnership of the American Battlefield Trust for making it possible.”
Park staff would like to thank the many members of the local Gettysburg community who helped keep park visitors up to date with pertinent information about the project and their continued patience throughout the process. We look forward to welcoming visitors back to this iconic battlefield site and join us as stewards to help us protect and interpret the site for generations to come.
Full details of the project, including photo albums, videos, time lapse videos, and frequently asked questions are on the park’s website at
