Join us on the evening of Friday, September 11 for our annual Legacy Weekend and Candlelight Illumination. Since 2013, we have held “Legacy Weekend” in commemoration of the closure of the Seminary Hospital, on September 16, 1863, after the departure of its final patient, Lt. Col. George McFarland.
This event is intended to remember the experiences of the physicians, attendants, and patients who occupied Schmucker Hall and the hospital complex which surrounded it.
Throughout the evening of September 11, seven hundred luminaria will line the historic tan bark path leading to Schmucker Hall, memorializing the soldiers, broken in battle, who sought refuge and care in the Seminary building in the summer of 1863 as well as those who toiled for their care.
Once again, you may sponsor a luminary, whether it’s someone connected to the hospital or anyone else of your choosing.
In doing so, you will help to both memorialize these individuals and support the mission of Seminary Ridge Museum.
