April 16-18, 2009 Tourism Cares embarked on its 7th Annual Tourism Cares for America project at Spangler Farm in Gettysburg, PA. Gettysburg and Spangler Farm are sites whose significance in US history cannot be overstated. Sitting on 80 acres in rural Pennsylvania, Spangler Farm was used as a field hospital for thousands of wounded soldiers during the Battle of Gettysburg. Spangler Farm also serves as the sight of the death of Confederate General Lewis Armistead, who led the climactic event of the three day battle – Pickett’s Charge. Today, the property is one of the last field hospitals kept intact as it was in 1863.
Volunteers came together to kick off a major restoration of the property. A day full of removing brush and clearing debris off of civil war era buildings completely transformed the farm.
To further the restoration of the Spangler Farm, Tourism Cares and Trip Mate provided the Gettysburg Foundation with a grant of $10,000.
