York County, Pennsylvania, does not have the Civil War fame of neighboring Adams County. Never will. But we have the opportunity this year to mark sites such as Jeb Stuart’s ditch (the exact location is disputed) that are part of York County’s Civil War story. This site, like so many others in York County, are unmarked and almost forgotten. Gettysburg 150 gives us a chance to remember them.
Yorktownsquare covers the widespread Anstine family, the county’s most famous ficus tree, more Gettysburg150 and the popular hobby of raising racing pigeons.
