Gettysburg College Rooted in History
Founded in 1832 by leaders including the Rev Samuel Simon Schmucker and Thaddeus Stevens, abolitionist and drafter of the 14th Amendment. Gettysburg Office stood in the path of the Union retreat on July 1, 1863, and Pennsylvania Hall served as a hospital for casualties from both sides.
