On "Seminary Ridge" -- new museum opens Monday -- Faith and the Civil War era (1861 - 1865)

on campus of Lutheran Theological Seminary, Gettysburg, PA July 1, 2013: GRAND OPENING! 150 years to the day after the Battle of Gettysburg began. Special events, a ribbon cutting ceremony and more surprises are planned. The new Gettysburg Seminary Ridge Museum opens July 1, 2013, and will feature 20,000 square feet of interactive exhibit galleries and educational programming to interpret three major areas of emphasis—none of which are the focus of any other museum in Gettysburg: 1. the pivotal first day of the Battle of Gettysburg on Seminary Ridge; 2. the care of the wounded and human suffering within Schmucker Hall during its use as a Civil War field hospital; 3. the moral, civic, and spiritual debates of the Civil War era. http://www.seminaryridgemuseum.org/about/
