Seminary Transition from Field Hospital Observed by Founders Day with Luminaries
Luminaries, Dearest Home to Set the Tone
for Seminary Ridge Museum Observance 150 Years After Field Hospital Closed
With
a touch of Autumn in the air and the schools back in session, the Seminary Ridge
Museum commemorates the soldiers who were patients in the
Seminary hospital from July 1-Sept 16, 1863. The public joined Seminary Ridge Museum Founders at Day's End
this Saturday, Sept. 14 for a program on the East
porch of the museum featuring remarks by Dr. Carol Reardon.
A musical performance by Dearest Home began at 7:30pm and the formal program followed at 8pm. Luminary candles linking one civil war soldier to one living sponsor will be illuminated as darkness settles on the hallowed ground which 150 years ago was instantly and concurrently both a fierce battleground and a sanctuary for healing.
