This week, our area and the nation paused to remember the
tragic events of 150-years ago. Today marks the end of the Battle of
Gettysburg.
Fought over the first three days of July in 1863, the battle
proved to be both climatic and one of the most cataclysmic events in American
history.
The Gettysburg
campaign was Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's bold offensive into the north
in an attempt to provide a knock-out blow to the 95,000-strong Union Army of
the Potomac.

This past weekend in Westminster, the ceremonies to pay our
respects to the events of 150-years ago, began on Friday evening with services
at the Corbit’s Charge monument on Court Street and the Ascension Church
cemetery.
On Saturday and Sunday, the historic commemorations moved
north of Westminster and closer to Gettysburg and appointment with immortality
– to a living history event, “Citizen Meets Soldier,” at the Shriver family
Union Mills Homestead.
For several days in June, just before the Battle of
Gettysburg, thousands of Confederate and Union troops camped at the Union Mills
Homestead. Like much of our nation, the Shriver
family had divided loyalties during the war which pitted brother against
brother.
Last weekend the National
Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg held a three-day event to
commemorate the role that the Sisters of Charity and Daughters of Charity
played at the Battle of Gettysburg….

The Corbit's Charge Commemorative Committee and the Union
Mills Homestead Foundation, Inc. jointly planned "Corbit's Charge - Union
Mills 1863," - “a collaborative celebration and commemoration of the 150th
Anniversary of the events in Westminster and Union Mills on June 29th and June
30th, 1863,” according to a joint press release from June 27, 2012.
The planned events held last weekend commemorated “key
events in Carroll County's Civil War history, particularly in the lead-up to
and during what eventually became the Battle of Gettysburg…
“"Corbit's Charge- Union Mills 1863" … (involved)
three days of special events in Westminster and Union Mills from Friday, June
28 to Sunday, June 30, 2013. These events will include commemorations, Civil
War re-enactors and encampments, musical celebrations, and living history
displays.”
On Friday evening, June 28, 2013, the commemoration featured
walking tours of the Corbit's Charge Battle Site, along with related ceremonies
in Westminster.
On Saturday and Sunday, June 29 and 30, 2013, the venue for
the commemoration weekend was located on the scenic and spacious grounds of the
Union Mills Homestead, offering an authentic setting much the way it was in
1863….
