Notes
  • Significance: The barn is a significant pre-Civil War structure located on the historic Peter Trostle Farm. It was a prominent building exposed to artillery and infantry fire during the Battle of Gettysburg. The farm was used by Union General Daniel Sickles as a headquarters on July 2, 1863, until he was severely wounded near the barn. Attacking Confederate troops forced Union troops to retreat through the farm buildings. The 9th Massachusetts battery was nearly annihilated by the 21st Mississippi near the farm buildings...
