Annual
Report
2013

From the Office of the President
A
s Pulitzer–Prize winning historian and Gettysburg Foundation Board Member Dr. James McPherson so eloquently stated, “Perhaps no
word in the American language has greater historical resonance then Gettysburg.”
In just three short days—July 1 to 3, 1863—the largest battle ever fought on American soil turned the tides of the American Civil War
and entered Gettysburg into our national lexicon forever. Four months later, President Abraham Lincoln dedicated the Soldiers’ National
Cemetery with a “few appropriate remarks” that gave comfort, hope and direction to a broken nation.
This year marked the 150th Anniversary of these two epic events—the Battle of Gettysburg and the Gettysburg Address—
and thanks to the unique partnership between the Gettysburg Foundation and Gettysburg National Military Park we were
able to commemorate these milestones in our nation’s history with historic events that touched millions of individuals
across the country and the world. As you will see in the pages of this report, from ranger programs and battle walks to book
signings and receptions, there was something for all ages and level of interest.
This powerful partnership also kept the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center open to greet visitors
during the government shutdown because we are the only center that operates solely on the private revenue provided
by a non-profit partner without support from state or federal funds. Our partnership has reached countless individuals
through membership opportunities, public outreach campaigns, and fundraising initiatives. We have also fostered lasting
partnerships with academic institutions and private organizations through educational and leadership programs, facilitated
extensive monument and land preservation projects, and funded acreage and property acquisitions pivotal to the historical
interpretation of Gettysburg.
Therefore, it was the Foundation’s goal to use this time of commemoration to re-dedicate Gettysburg to future generations
by raising even more critical funds and awareness. To accomplish this great task, the Foundation embarked on a five-year
effort to build support in three critical areas: preservation, education and acquisition. Without the preservation and acquisition of historic land
and artifacts, like the George Spangler Farm (which opened to the public for the first time this summer), the priceless possessions of soldiers
and civilians (as seen in the new Treasures of the Civil War Exhibit) and educational opportunities (like Youth Quest), the story of Gettysburg
will be lost and the heroic lessons taught on these fields soon forgotten.
Fortunately for us, we do not carry this responsibility alone. We rely on the support of our members, volunteers, donors and partners to be
successful. The unwavering passion and dedication they exhibit solidifies the importance of preserving this hallowed ground so that future
generations continue to look to Gettysburg and its incredible story for inspiration.
Thank you for joining us in this great mission by taking an interest in our work this year.

A Strong Partnership
O
ne hundred and fifty years ago in the Soldiers’ National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania,
President Abraham Lincoln charged the American people with the solemn responsibility to
“be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced.”
It is because of this responsibility that the Gettysburg Foundation, in partnership with the National Park
Service, is dedicated to preserving and protecting Gettysburg National Military Park and Eisenhower
National Historic Site.
Today, Gettysburg is an American pilgrimage for more than one million people a year seeking to
understand the importance of the Battle of Gettysburg and its place in American history.
As a partner to Gettysburg National Military Park, the Foundation has reached countless individuals
through our membership opportunities, public outreach campaigns, and fundraising initiatives. We
fostered lasting partnerships with academic institutions and private organizations through educational
and leadership programs, facilitated extensive monument and land preservation projects, and funded
acreage and property acquisitions pivotal to the historical interpretation of Gettysburg. All of this and
more has been accomplished so that this national treasure will be sustained for years to come—ensuring
that the soldiers who fought here “shall not have died in vain.”
In 2013 it was the goal of the Gettysburg Foundation—by raising critical funds and awareness—to use
this 150th commemoration to rededicate Gettysburg for future generations. This was accomplished
through important preservation, education and acquisition efforts outlined in this annual report.

preservation:
caring for history
Monument Restoration
The
Pennsylvania
Memorial
T
he Pennsylvania
Memorial is
approximately 100 feet
tall and was dedicated in 1910.
The memorial has a large dome
supported by four archways,
each flanked by columns. The
“Goddess of Victory and Peace”
sits atop of the monument. This
bronze statue, weighing 7,500
pounds was sculpted by Samuel
Murray of Philadelphia and was
cast from bronze taken from a
melted down cannon that was
used during the Civil War.
“…In order to pay honor and tribute to the
brave men and women of Pennsylvania during
the Gettysburg Campaign, the Pennsylvania
Moose Association is proud to make the
generous donation for the restoration
and renewal of our monument so that our
children and generations to come may
also understand the sacrifices made on
this hallowed ground by so many of our
ancestors.”
Michael Henry
,
Pennsylvania Moose Association
Community Service Chairman
On March 8, 2013, the
donated funds to the Gettysburg
Foundation to pay for
rehabilitation of the memorial.
This included walnut-shell
blasting and washing of the
sculpture and Goddess —
removing corrosion and grime.
The 11th
Massachusetts
Monument
T
he 11th Massachusetts
monument was
dedicated on October
8, 1885. Massachusetts was the
first state to fund monuments
at Gettysburg for its 23 units
that fought here. The sculpture
of a bent arm holding a sword
represents the state motto of
Massachusetts and is sometimes
referred to as the “sword of
Standish.” The same arm and
sword motif was emblazoned
on the uniform buttons of
Massachusetts soldiers during
the Civil War.
On April 11, 2013, the
monument was fully restored
thanks to contributions from
Friends of Gettysburg members,
donors and other generous
supporters.

In February 2006 the 11th
Massachusetts monument
was one of three monuments
vandalized. The entire crown
was knocked off, the arm was
shattered and the saber was
stolen.

caring for history
Rehabilitation of Cemetery Ridge
T
hanks to the
contributions of donors,
supporters and Friends,
the long-anticipated demolition
of the former cyclorama
building began in the spring
of 2013. The work began in
Ziegler’s Grove, the area that
suffered the most extreme
contour changes and destruction
to its cultural resources. By early
summer, the construction crew
removed the chain link fence,
allowing visitors to walk on all
of Cemetery Ridge and to begin
to understand a correct and
more thorough interpretation of
the battle.
The complete rehabilitation and
reconstruction of Ziegler’s Grove
will be partially completed in
the early summer of 2014. This
will include the removal of the
old visitor center parking lot;
and regrading, reseeding and
construction of historic stone
walls and fences.
The remainder of the project—
the reconfiguration of the old
cyclorama parking lot—is in the
design stage, and will include
the reconstruction of a ravine
critical to the interpretation of
the battle.
When this project is completed,
the historic story of the battle
and the lives of the civilians who
lived here can be better told and
understood.
At the time of the battle, the
43 acres of Ziegler’s Grove had
three farmsteads with fields,
orchards, groves of hardwoods,
houses and barns, owned in
part by David Ziegler, Abraham
Brian, and Lydia Leister.
(Top) The “Old Cyclorama
Building” was demolished in
Spring of 2013 making way for
rehabilitation of Ziegler’s
Grove.
(Bottom) Following the
demolition, the area was
regraded to resemble the
historic landscape.

“Knowing that the kepi that General John Reynolds pulled on as he left Moritz
Tavern headed for his appointment with glory at Gettysburg July 1, 1863, and
the field sword which slapped against his sweaty steed’s side that morning
will be on display as part of the permanent collection at the Gettysburg
National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center makes me incredibly
proud of the work of the Gettysburg Foundation which made this possible.”

tremendous job of safeguarding
and preserving many of
our nation’s most treasured
artifacts surrounding the
Civil War and the Battle of
Gettysburg… As we celebrate
the Battle of Gettysburg’s 150th
Anniversary, I am hopeful this
gift will also encourage others
to donate their historic and
treasured pieces from the Civil
War to the Gettysburg National
Military Park for the benefit of
future generations.”

Education, Interpretation & Leadership:
investing in the future
Grand Opening of The George Spangler Farm
T
he George Spangler
Farm was the Union
11th Corps field hospital
used to treat both Confederate
and Union casualties. It is one of
the best surviving examples of a
farm used as a corps field hospital
during and after the Battle of
Gettysburg. The site opened
to the public for the first time
since the Gettysburg Foundation
acquired the property in 2008.
Visitors were able to tour the
newly rehabilitated summer
kitchen, see the barn and other
structures on the property and
learn more about the soldiers,
civilians and surgeons who lived
through the traumatic experience
of the Battle of Gettysburg and
wartime medical care.
During the thirteen-week period,
7,200 visitors from across the
country were welcomed by
Gettysburg Foundation volunteer
docents and participated in NPS
Ranger programs, living history
presentations, Civil War medical
encampments, and self-guided
walking tours. The Gettysburg
Foundation provided financial
support for the National Park
Service’s Living History program
at the George Spangler Farm and
throughout Gettysburg National
Military Park.

anniversary events, daily operations, special projects and the story
of Gettysburg come to life through living history.
16,621 volunteer hours
were donated in 2013
96 Active Volunteers
23 New Volunteers were added in 2013

A
s part of the 150th
commemoration, the
Gettysburg National
Military Park Museum and
Visitor Center presented a
new exhibit entitled, Treasures
of the Civil War: Legendary
Leaders Who Shaped a War and
A Nation. The exhibit, which
was made possible through a
generous grant from the Texas
Civil War Museum, gave the
Foundation the opportunity to
bring the stories of the Civil War
beyond the history books and
provide visitors with an exciting
and tangible way of learning
about Gettysburg and the war.
Treasures showcased nearly 100
artifacts from outstanding Civil
War collections throughout
the United States and offered a
rare glimpse into the personal
and professional lives of several
American legends such as
President Abraham Lincoln,
Confederate President Jefferson
Davis, General Ulysses S. Grant,
General Robert E. Lee, General
George G. Meade and General
John Reynolds, among others.
Treasures is the second exhibit
to be featured in the Gilder
Lehrman temporary exhibit
gallery since the Gettysburg
National Military Park
Museum and Visitor Center
opened in 2008. More than
70,000 visitors viewed the
exhibit in 2013.
The collaboration also
published a Treasures of the
Civil War gallery book rich with
photographs of the exhibit’s
highlights and new insights
into the lives of these legendary
leaders.

“The Gettysburg Foundation’s financial support for the Treasures exhibit is a perfect example of the mission
of the National Park Service to “conserve” historic objects for the enjoyment of future generations.”

Education 150: Youth Quest 2013
E
ducation 150 is a three-phased initiative carried out for
the first time from 2012 through 2013. The initiative aims
to engage a new generation of educators and youth in
the relevancy of the Civil War, particularly Gettysburg, to their
lives today through direct experience.
Phase 1
Fifty language arts and social studies teachers from
underserved and middle schools will be invited to Gettysburg
to take part in the fully-funded Richard Bartol, Jr. Educators’
Conference where they will be equipped with teaching tools,
custom lesson plans and expert support to take back to their
schools and districts.
Phase 2
Gettysburg will become an outdoor classroom when teachers
who attended the Bartol Conference bring a class to Gettysburg
for a field trip with the help of funding from generous donors.
Students are able to see history come to life at Gettysburg
National Military Park and throughout Gettysburg.
Phase 3
Teachers who took part in phase 1 of Education 150 will
nominate incoming high school freshmen—whom they see
to be a leader among their peers—to Youth Quest, a 4-day
student leadership experience to be held the summer of 2015 at
Gettysburg College.
Y
outh Quest, the
third and final phase
of the Gettysburg
Foundation’s inaugural
Education 150 initiative, was
held July 28 through August
1, 2013, in partnership with
Gettysburg College, the
National Park Service and
the Student Conservation
Association. Funding for the
2012 – 2013 Education 150
program was provided through
generous grants from the
David Bruce Smith Education
Initiative of the Robert H.
Smith Family Foundation,
the Claude Worthington
Benedum Foundation, the
ICF Foundation, the Hershey
Company, M&T Bank, Church
& Dwight Giant Food Stores
and their A+ School Rewards
Program, and the Coca-Cola
Company.
as 25 rising ninth graders—
recommended by teachers who
attended the Bartol Educators’
Conference in 2012—visited
Gettysburg to participate in
Youth Quest. The Youth Quest
Leadership Team selected 25
students of the 44 who applied
with 3 students from West
Virginia, 8 students from
Maryland, and 14 students
from Pennsylvania. Ten of
these students lived in urban
environments while 15 lived in
rural environments.
recognize the significance and
relevance of what happened in
Gettysburg 150 years ago, and
gain an up-close glimpse of
college life to empower them
to aim for higher education
as a part of their future. In the
months following Youth Quest,
these students applied their
newly learned skills by planning
and carrying out projects that
improved their communities.
Youth Quest provided the
opportunity for students to
develop their leadership abilities,
