Where is it Wednesday, Gettysburg?

[MRB1863]

Identify what was once on this site...

 

[Schellr]

Bliss Farm

 

[MRB1863]

Well, ummmmm.....no

 

[reading48]

Iverson's Pits...

 

[James N.]

Looks like it might've been the site of the old Peace Light Inn on Buford Avenue looking toward Willoughby Run. (If so, the Peace Light on Oak Hill is off to the right and a little behind the viewer.) It burned in a suspicious and likely insurance fire around 1980 and the site was acquired for the park afterward.

Definitely looking to the west. Notice the mountains in the distance.

 

[JDG1863]

McPherson house?

The tree line in the distance looks as if it might be Spangler's Woods, with the Virginia monument out of picture to the right. I couldn't say what used to be in the foreground. If that is Spangler's Woods the point of view can't be too far from the site of the Bliss farm, as Schellr suggested.

If you zoom in on the picture, you can see a replanted orchard.

 

[MRB1863]

All great answers...but...not the right one yet!

 

[Henry G]

How about the location of the WW1Camp Colt Tank Corps training ground?

 

[MRB1863]

NNNNNNNNNNNope.

Samuel Hartzell orchard, across the road from Lee's HQ, looking west toward McPherson's Ridge.

 

[MRB1863]

Good guess, but not

It's hard to think of a place in the park that has so few monuments that one can get a long view like this with nothing showing. Any chance it's on the west side of Willoughby Run opposite Herbst Woods?

Not even a fence.

2nd attempt: former Forney Farm by Oak Ridge.

 

[Seduzal]

Sorry no clue!

 

[eBrowne]

There is a Forney Orchard, so going with that.

 

[MRB1863]

Not Forney. Stay tuned for another photo next week that will give another clue.
