ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Lutheran Theological Seminary, Valentine Hall, 61 Seminary Ridge, Gettysburg, PA 17325, USA
You’re standing in the Lutheran Theological Seminary’s campus. Long before it became the site of some of Gettysburg’s most heated clashes, it had a much more peaceful purpose as the oldest Lutheran seminary in the country. Samuel Simon Schmucker founded it in 1826, which makes it older than prestigious universities like NYU or Cornell!
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center, 111 Seminary Rdg, Gettysburg, PA 17325-1718
Today, this impressive brick building is the Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center, which features Civil War exhibits, fascinating wartime accounts, and visits to the cupola on top.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Valentine Hall, 61 Seminary Ridge, Gettysburg, PA 17325, USA
You’re walking past Valentine Hall, and it’s a striking reminder that the Battle Of Gettysburg did NOT spell the end of the seminary. Why not? Well, because this hall didn’t appear until 25 years AFTER the battle!
