Park Day @ Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center

At about noon on July 1, 1863, First Corps commander Maj. Gen. Abner Doubleday instructed United States infantry to construct a “barricade of rails” along Seminary Ridge as “a precautionary measure,” in the event of a Confederate attack. Hear firsthand accounts from soldiers who built—and later defended—the iconic wooden breastwork. This approximately 30-minute program, led by Codie Eash, Director of Education and Interpretation, will be available for volunteers at the conclusion of Park Day activities.
