Christ Lutheran Church:
This church has been in continual use since opening in 1835. During its first 100 years, it served as the church of the Lutheran Seminary and Pennsylvania (Gettysburg) College students and town parishioners. On July 1, 1863, its doors were opened to Union surgeons as a hospital. Nursing care for the wounded during and immediately after the battle was provided by local women volunteers and later by the Patriot Daughters of Lancaster. |
