Where is it Wednesday, Gettysburg?

[pamc153PA]

Okay, everyone, it's Wednesday! Time for the next installment of Where Is It! Going the black and white this time.

This one might be easy, if you get out and walk the battlefield. And remember, you need to identify WHERE this is, not WHAT.

 

[Kurt G]

Zeigler's Grove

Hint: check the background.

Klingle Farm.

I have no way of knowing but I enjoy the guesses. I have seen some rather obscure parts of Gettysburg this way, even with that gosh darn big tree in the way.

I'm stumped....guess it's ... tie a yellow ribbon round that old oak tree.. ...

G Weikert or Klingle farm both have the same fenceline but i'm going for the Klingle.
Hope your well Pam, say hi to everyone for me.

I admit that I cannot recall this specific tree, but the white building and style of fence in the background have me thinking of the Slider Farm. I cannot think of a tree this size on the Klingle Farm, so my guess (although probably wrong) is Slider Farm.

 

[NFB22]

I'm gonna go with the Trostle Farm.

 

[Lubliner]

Oak Hill?

[Cavalier]

My guess is Zeigler's Grove also.

Okay, I'm a day late because I was out in Gettysburg yesterday, but the answer to this Where is it Wednesday is . . .

an apple tree in the Slyder farm orchard!

Planted about the time the Slyder farm was used as a living history farm on the battlefield in the 1980s, the orchard has about six trees left, all of them old, gnarled and for the most part non-fruiting any longer. To get to the Slyder orchard, you must walk the trail/lane to the Slyder farm, then walk behind the barn. The orchard faces the open field of the South Cav field. I'm not sure if the orchard's placement is historically correct, but the Slyder farm did have an orchard at the time of the battle.

The Slyder orchard is one of my favorite places on the battlefield.

So, congratulations to @Gettysburg Guide #154 who did guess the Slyder farm as the correct answer! And thanks for playing, everyone!

That is a 40 year old apple tree? That is hard for me to believe.

Sounds like you have a good excuse then!

There are a lot of interesting things to see on the Slyder Farm, if you're not standing 2 feet away from, and looking directly at the truck of, an old apple tree.

Nearsighted.

True! That's why I spend a lot of time on the Slyder farm. And I don't always hang out with the old apple trees.
