Spangler Farm (Joseph Spangler)

The Joseph Spangler Farm is located on the Hanover Road near the East Cavalry Battlefield’s entrance. Custer’s Cavalry Brigade took position in field in front of and behind house on morning of July 3; the Michigan Brigade made dramatic charges from these positions near the house across the fields of Spangler, Lott, and Howard farms during the afternoon hours.

The farm was donated to Gettysburg National Military Park in 1991. The house dates to the 1850s and was originally a two-story brick farmhouse. The farm has now been mostly restored.
