Codori Farm

Perhaps the most famous farm on the battlefield, the Codori Farm is located on the east side of the Emmitsburg Road, in the field of Pickett’s Charge. The house was there at the time of the battle, although a two story brick addition was added to its rear in 1877. The barn is a replacement for the original that was torn down in 1882.

At the time of the battle, the farm was owned by Nicholas Codori, a French immigrant. He was a butcher and lived at 44 York Street. He rented the farm to tenants, and it is unclear who was occupying the farm during the battle. Over 500 Confederate soldiers were buried on the property.

The farm is owned today by the national park service.
