Historic Structures Report, Part I: The McLean Barn
Brown L, Pfanz HW, Pope C. 1968. Historic Structures Report, Part I: The McLean Barn. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
The Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point in the Civil War, the Union victory that ended General Robert E. Lee's second and most ambitious invasion of the North. Often referred to as the "High Water Mark of the Rebellion", Gettysburg was the Civil War's bloodiest battle and was also the inspiration for President Abraham Lincoln's immortal "Gettysburg Address". The Gettysburg National Military Park protects and interprets the landscape of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg. This historic structure report concerns the McLean Barn at Gettysburg. It is proposed to be preserved as a part of the historic scene in its 1863 appearance insofar as is practicable. It will be used as a farm barn and for park storage. Proposed initial construction will be limited initially to those measures necessary in emergency stabilization including repair of the roof and siding, exterior painting, and the repair of foundations.
