Perhaps it’s a testament to my eye for details that I was almost more excited about the ruins of the Dustman barn than the newly-renovated Gen. Lee’s Headquarters. There’s something fascinating about knowing that this stone foundation was in place during the battle . . . most of the homes and barns in Gettysburg are privately-owned and thus inaccessible, making a place like this extra special. To walk within the ruins and touch every stone is wonderful. I hope this foundation continues to be accessible to those who visit. I intend to come back again soon.
