The re-creation of the famous "Pickett's Charge Wall" has been completed.
The 210 yard wall is now ready for the 145th Anniversary Gettysburg Civil War Battle Reenactment at the Redding Farm on Table Rock Road Gettysburg.
Preparing for the Gettysburg 145th National Civil War Battle Reenactment--Massive Pickett's Charge
Over 20 dump truck loads of granite field
stones from vegetated
stone fence rows have been moved from a
neighboring farm in a labor
intensive endeavor. The results have been
very worthwhile as the granite
wall perfectly mirrors the stonewalls on
the battlefield at Gettysburg.
Members of the Redding Family and
reenactment staff members
are shown building the 210 yard long
Pickett's Charge Wall.
Currently Under Construction -- a Road to the Confederate Camp
Construction is already under way for an all- weather
road that will lead to the Confederate campsite.
Among many other preparation projects the staff will also be
installing 1,200 ft. of historic five rail fence this fall. Work at
the event site will continue all year long as weather
permits.
Large amounts of
firewood are already being trucked into the military camps.
