Power Lines, Ground Disturbance, and the Inadequate
Devil’s Den Restroom
The Gettysburg Foundation is attempting to raise $500,000 to bury power lines including those leading to the Devil’s Den/Slaughter Pen restroom. The Devil’s Den restroom is of course, a building that did not exist at the time of the Battle of Gettysburg, and more than a few people are wondering why it is still standing. Some also wonder why should money be spent, and historic ground be disturbed to bring electricity to this structure? Are there other alternatives?  Are there more worthy projects on which to spend almost $500,000?

Developer David LeVan hopes to expand the Eisenhower Hotel into a large-scale gaming facility (or casino). This is the second attempt by developers to open a casino at Gettysburg.

Rock Wall Displaced in South Cavalry Field
During tree clearing by contractors of the National Park Service rock walls constructed by the 1st Texas infantry were displaced by fallen trees. Many of these trees were believed to be "witness trees."
