History
of the Farmhouse
The Farmhouse is a graceful Federal-style brick building that was built ca. 1862 by Isaac Lightner, an Adams County sheriff and farmer.
One year later, the Lightner home played an important role in our nation's history during the Battle of Gettysburg when it served as a field hospital for the Union Army. The Farmhouse and its surrounding land, located behind the Northern battle line, provided a welcome refuge for weary and wounded soldiers of the Union First Corps. Tall trees shaded the soldiers camped on the grounds, water from White Run quenched their thirst, and bread baked in the beehive oven provided nourishment. |

Reference |
|
This is the living room on the
front of the house. Sensitive investigators suspect the
breakfast room, which is directly across form this room, was
the area where surgeries were preformed. This living room
could possibly have been an area where soldiers recovered from
those surgeries.

In this bedroom,
investigators heard the sound of drums, as if troops were
marching to battle, at about 2:00AM. There were no
re-enactors in the area at this time. |

The grounds of
the Lightner House, seen below, were at one time filled with
wounded and dying Union and Confederate troops taken here
during and after the battle. |
