Over the past 11 years we've been following the Pennsylvania Historical Marker Trail all through our great state and documenting them on the travel blog. Millions of people walk or drive by these markers every year and never give them a second thought. They're a great source of historic information and we're trying to bring some much needed attention to them.
While following the Historical Marker Trail through Cumberland County we came across the Gettysburg Campaign located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. You'll find it located on South Hanover Street. Here is what it says.
Gettysburg Campaign
On June 28, 1863, General Richard Ewell received orders from Robert E. Lee to move Ewell's southern troops out of Carlisle and on to Gettysburg. By June 29th two divisions of Ewell's troops marched over this road through Mt. Holly Springs, York Springs, and Heidlersburg towards Gettysburg.
