There is a small village near us that is a well-known stop on the "underground railroad." Every year they have ceremonies commemorating the brave people who helped slaves run to safety. This memorial was dedicated in 1880 to the soldiers who died in the Civil War. The four sides have "Charity, Loyalty, Fraternity, and Bravery." It is dedicated to the brave men who died to "preserve the Constitution and end slavery." (5 years and 2785 days ago)

In our largest local graveyard, overlooking the town, we have "Civil War Circle". The resting place of most of the areas American Civil War Veterans, serving in the famous PA 108th Regiment of the GAR (Grand Republican Army). They served with honor and pride from 1861-1865, most laid to rest here were killed in action at the 3 day Battle of Gettysburg, defend their State on home territory. In the 3 days of fighting, nearly 65,000 were killed on both sides or more than WWII, Korea and Viet Nam combined...
