Historic Structures Report, Part I: Wright House and Barn
Pfanz HW. 1964. Historic Structures Report, Part I: Wright House and 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 Wright House and Barn at Gettysburg. The Wright House and Barn were apparently erected in their present location after 1880. Although some materials in the house date from the Civil War period, it is proposed that they be removed from the site. The house will serve as Park quarters until it is removed.
