Fields of Fire: Gettysburg’s Emmitsburg Road Farms

Join historians Jim Hessler, Britt Isenberg, and Phil Spaugy for an in-depth look at three farms—Sherfy, Klingel, and Rogers—caught in the crossfire on July 2, 1863. Situated along the Emmitsburg Road during some of the fiercest fighting of the Battle of Gettysburg, each property witnessed extraordinary scenes of courage, chaos, and survival. Blending gripping human-interest stories with sharp military analysis, this program brings to life the unforgettable experiences of soldiers and civilians on these three iconic Adams County farms. The program will be followed by a book signing with Jim Hessler and Britt Isenberg, authors of Gettysburg’s Peach Orchard. Copies will also be available of Hessler’s brand new book, The First Day at Gettysburg.
