US/CS 19TH CENTURY HORSESHOE RECOVERED ON THE SHERFY FARM, GETTYSBURG

$67.50 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: 173-2413

Recovered from the Sherfy Farm by local Gettysburg resident John Cullison, who excavated relics on the field from 1935-1959. Cullison sold his collection to the famed Gettysburg Rosensteel family, who held the primary collection of Gettysburg artifacts.

The Sherfy Farm is on Emmitsburg Road about a mile south of town. At the time of the battle the fifty acre farm was owned by Reverend Joseph Sherfy and included the famous Peach Orchard to the south of Wheatfield Road as well as both Big and Little Round Tops and the Devil's Den. The house is the original house built in the 1840's and still displays bullet holes in its brickwork, signs of the fierce fighting that took place around it on July 2nd and 3rd, 1863. The current barn replaced the original, which had been used by the Confederates as a field hospital but had burned during the battle.
