Hands
down, the George and Dorothea Rose farmhouse is my favorite historic structure
on the battlefield. Its relatively secluded location, great views, and of
course its stone construction --- my favorite type of architecture – always
draws my attention. On the one hand it’s nice to think of sitting up in one of
those windows and surveying the fighting fields, but on the other hand it would also be a
little eerie to live out here, surrounded by the Round Tops in the dark.
Whether or not you believe in the supernatural, the battlefield has a tangible
‘atmosphere’ after sunset.
