Visit The Most Infamous Building In Gettysburg Located on Cemetery Hill, in the crossfire of the Union and Confederate armies during The Battle of Gettysburg, learn how this 1836 home’s strategic location prominently served as a field hospital for the wounded and dying. Learn about Captain John Myers, a veteran of the War of 1812, who called this building home during the battle. The fate of Sgt. Amos Humiston of the 154th NY Infantry would be the tragic catalyst that would propel The Children’s Orphanage’s opening three years later. The Homestead opened in October 1866 thanks to prominent individuals who brought this safe haven for Children to life. Walk through portions of this historic building and grounds and learn of the children who called this home during the years 1866 -1877. Sadly, the good times would come to an end when a new head matron, Rosa J. Carmichael, arrives at The Orphanage in 1870, ushering in an era of darkness for the children and the eventual closing.
