Here is another sweet mystery:
1. Identify the location of this photo
2. Who was this site related to in 1863?
Remember folks, this is a two part mystery!

At Mr. G's ice cream parlor on Baltimore Street, and Abraham Lincoln. The sign shown is just a few feet away from a sycamore tree that is identified with a bronze plaque reading, "President Lincoln passed by this tree on November 19, 1863."
Good points but, I was thinking of someone related to whatever site this is site more permanently.
 
The sing hangs on that ring toss game in front of Mr Gs. I cheated a little and had to look up who owned the house at the time of the battle. It was the John Winebrenner house. Side note, my kid is really good at that ring toss game 😁
 
Based on a blog post from Gettysburg daily, as of 2009 that place was a regular residence. That whole area has changed completely-same buildings, but now they are occupied by businesses. It looks like the Cider place next door wasn't there in 2009 either.
