Lee’s Gettysburg Headquarters were restored by the Civil War Trust and it was originally the home of Mary Thompson. The Civil War Trust has since gone woke and even changed their name but we do thank them for their sadly woke work. Even the doghouse is the same as what was pictured in period photos. Also see R. E. Lee’s HQ FLAG!

From the tablet on Emmitsburg Road at Gettysburg:
Army of Northern Virginia
Hill’s Corps Anderson’s Division
Perry’s Brigade
2nd 5th 8th Florida Infantry
July 2. Formed line in forenoon in the western border of these woods. Advanced at 6 P. M. and assisted in driving back the Union lines on Emmitsburg Road and by rapid pursuit compelled the temporary abandonment of several guns. At the foot of the slope met Union infantry and the line on the right retiring also fell back. The color bearer of the 8th Florida fell and its flag was lost.
Amazing ironclads! And guns from the Navy Yard! Zoom in for details of each gun
