The Monuments and Memorials of the Gettysburg Campaign
Warfield Farm
Located on Seminary Ridge near the intersection of post-battle Confederate Avenue and the Millerstown Road, the 14-acre property of James Warfield, a free black, became a staging area for Longstreet’s Corps on July 2. Warfield was a blacksmith. Fourteen Confederates were buried in his garden and his farm was destroyed and his tools stolen; he could find no buyer for his property after the War, and it was eventually sold into the National Park Service. Warfield lived out the rest of his life in nearby Cashtown.
The house was recently restored to its 1863 appearance by the National Park Service.
