Barn Charm Tuesday




The Joseph Sherfy Barn is located on the battlefield at Gettysburg. On July 2, 1863, during the Battle of Gettysburg, the 18th Mississippi Regiment of Barksdale’s Brigade swept around the the original barn toward the 114th Pennsylvania and the 57th Pennsylvania. The original barn burned to its stone foundation during the battle, killing Union soldiers of the 114th Pennsylvania who had sought refuge in the barn earlier.

  1. Hi Tanya,

    Those poor soldiers... Horrible way to pass.

    The barn is beautiful & that fence is a bonus... the history is incredibly interesting to me. It must be so neat to live so close to such history.

    Thank you for joining in & linking up to Barn Charm

  4. Hi Tanya, it's very nice to meet you on my barn charm tour. these is a whole lot of history in this barn location. I'm glad another was built to replace the original, which had sadness and tragedy associated with it. happy Tuesday.

  10. Even though I'm not into the Barn thing, the History behind this barn I would be. While down there in Gettysburg a while back, I must have missed some. I still must get back to Gettysburg sometime, and spend more time there.
