Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center

In 1858, the crossroads town of Gettysburg was finally connected to the outside world via railroad. During the battle in 1863, this connection was severed by the Confederates, preventing supplies from being brought in a wounded soldiers from being evacuated. Only through the diligent work of U.S. Military Railroads Chief of Construction and former Gettysburg resident Herman Haupt was this vital artery repaired within days of the battle. Join Pete Miele as he explores this important post-battle story.
