Historic Preservation Effort – Mercersburg, PA

This just in today. It sounds like a crisis, so I decided to put it here ahead of some other pieces:

We are desperately looking for Civil War re-enactors to do a Living History on Oct. 10 @ 10am at the Steiger House, 120N. Main St. Mercersburg PA to commemorate Stuart’s 1862 raid and to raise awareness about the William Squire Smith House circa 1730s, a national landmark where the first resistance to British Rule took place. The Steiger House is several doors down from the Smith House which was recently purchased by the fire dept. to be razed so a parking lot can be made. Please call Tim McCown or Karen Ramsburg for details 717-498-0364 or send us an email if you can help us.

    to be razed so a parking lot can be made…Just what happened in Knoxville TN…There is a Krogers sitting on top of an historic site that was not excavated nor was any search for soldiers remaind done. Hmmm parking lot or respecting blood shed???
