NYCHAPS is hosting a youth Archaeology Week for middle school students! Children entering grades 6th-8th are invited to register for this educational and fun week. The students will be conducting real archaeology under the leadership of local archaeologist, Jeri Jones and the York History Center’s Valerie Long, Manager of School Programs. This event will happen at the site of a prominent 19th century industrial leader’s homestead in Carroll Township, just east of the Borough of Dillsburg. (Since the archaeological site is on private property, the address will be given out only to registered campers.)

“Students will learn the various procedures in conducting an archaeological excavation, cleaning and preparing the artifacts for identification and report writing. The students will hopefully find pieces of the puzzle of understanding how residents lived in the mid 1800’s and, [specifically], how this industrial leader lived. You can’t get any more real than this,” according to Mr Jones. Ms. Long will also schedule a daily mini-program for the students that will be related to the area’s history.

The students must be dropped off and picked up at the site by a parent or guardian. Students must supply their own lunch and beverages. Registration is now open for the week with a limited number of spots available. Contact NYCHAPS office at admin@northernyorkhistorical.org or 717-502-1440 for application and medical form.
Member cost: $230/student; Non-member cost: $240/student

Join Larry Korczyk, LBG for a talk covering the desperate fighting between a division of Union soldiers from the Eleventh Corps under the command of General Francis Channing Barlow and a division of Confederate soldiers under the command of General Jubal Early.

The fight will occur on the afternoon of July 1 and result in what Larry calls “The Perfect Storm” where two Confederate Brigades will strike the Union position atop Blocher’s Knoll and rout the two undersized Union brigades of General Barlow defending the position. The Union defenders will fight valiantly and desperately but are overwhelmed by superior Confederate numbers and driven back in defeat, crushing the Union right flank north of the town of Gettysburg. See the field of battle where the action occurred from the windows of the new Adams County Historical Society building, hear of the combat from the words of the soldiers, experience the Perfect Storm.

“The Fight for Barlow’s Knoll” is part of the 2023 Battlefield Overlook Speaker Series. Tickets are free for members and $10/non-members.

There are motivational speakers, and then there are “motivational do-ers.” Terry Crews is the latter. This bonafide powerhouse—actor, activist, best-selling author, former athlete, and beyond—has inspired countless individuals to “do something about it.” “It” can mean many different things to many different people: a difficult career choice, a seemingly unattainable goal, an addiction, an abusive relationship, or just life in general. Crews speaks from his experience—something he encourages everyone to do—but in the process, he is able to relate to universal stories of struggle.

Every Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 PM from April until October, docents from the National Museum of Civil War Medicine will explain how Frederick became “One Vast Hospital.” Arguably the most trying moment in city’s history came after the Battle of Antietam in the fall of 1862. The town’s population doubled when 8,000 wounded soldiers were delivered by ambulance to make-shift hospitals throughout Frederick.

Tickets are $15 and include admission to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in addition to the walking tour. Tickets are free for Museum members, but you must still reserve your spot. Reservations will be accepted on a first come first served basis. Click below to buy your ticket today.

With accounts taken from the diaries and letters of the surgeons, soldiers, and civilians who were there, this guided walking tour will explore the locations of the city’s Civil War hospitals in churches, schools, and public buildings.

Throughout the American Civil War, Frederick, Maryland played a vital role to both Union and Confederate armies. Soldiers marched beneath the “Clustered Spires” on their way to battles at Antietam, Gettysburg, and Monocacy. The “One Vast Hospital” tour focuses on the wreckage left behind.
