Did you know that there are still nine buildings in the borough of Gettysburg with cannon balls, or artillery shells, sticking out of them? But which ones are from the actual battle, and which ones were cemented into the walls much later? This week's Facebook live program is based on research by Timothy H. Smith, author of two articles about Gettysburg's lasting battle damage. In a discussion moderated by ACHS Executive Director Andrew Dalton, Smith will discuss his research of the buildings, the occupants at the time of the battle, and the evidence for the placement of each of the projectiles. Learn more about this not-so-hidden history in Gettysburg!
