Fridays On the Ridge - From Seminary to Cemetery

From Seminary to Cemetery

In the aftermath of the fierce fighting on July 1, 1863, the grounds surrounding the Lutheran Theological Seminary were transformed from a place of peace into a somber landscape of death. Many soldiers were buried where they fell, turning Seminary Ridge into a makeshift graveyard.

Join Kaleb Kusmierczyk, Director of Museum Operations, as he explores the solemn transformation of the Seminary's campus—from a quiet center of learning to a landscape dotted with hastily dug graves.
