The burning of the Wrightsville-Columbia Bridge on June 28, 1863, set into motion a series of military events that reverberated throughout south-central Pennsylvania. Beyond affecting those who fought and lived on either side of the Susquehanna River, the blaze influenced the maneuver of two massive Civil War armies, impeded the ability of aid workers to traverse a mile-wide waterway, and swayed both early and long-term interpretations of the Gettysburg Campaign.

Join Codie Eash as he explores how events in Wrightsville impacted soldiers and civilians—men and women, Black and white—throughout the Battle of Gettysburg and its aftermath, including here at the Lutheran Seminary and along Seminary Ridge.
