Owner Comments:

Gettysburg National Military Park was created by an act of Congress signed into law by President Grover Cleveland on February 11, 1895. The law directed the War Department to establish the park as a means to commemorate the importance of the American Civil War Battle of Gettysburg and those who fought in it.To accomplish this task, the War Department accepted a deed conveying the ownership of 800 initial acres for the park from the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association. This association was created shortly after the actual battle some thirty years earlier to mark “the great deeds of valor … and the signal events which render these battlegrounds illustrious."
