Their houses were used as hospitals, their livestock was killed, their crops were destroyed, and their fields were used as graveyards. Join Historian Timothy H. Smith as he discusses the aftermath of the battle and the resilient spirit of the Gettysburg citizens in establishing the tourism economy in the years after the Civil War.
This program was originally recorded on November 2, 2024 at the Adams County Historical Society.
