How interesting. It would have been something to own the Codori farm. The house is appealing, attractive brick with apple green trim. They no longer have cows; the park service cut down most of the shade trees in the pasture behind the farm, and took down some of the fencing.

Another farm, the George Spangler farm a few miles away near the new museum/visitor center, is now for sale — 80 acres, a falling down barn and stone civil war house in horrible shape — can be yours for $2 million. Armistead died there. The place was a civil war hospital and they buried bodies (officers) in the basement of the house.

Wow. Unintended consequences of Ken Burns, and the movie ‘Gettysburg’ perhaps?
