yields more than $20,000 for Emmitsburg
EMMITSBURG,
Md. – Rather than having to worry over what to cut from

EMMITSBURG,
Md. – When the Great Emmitsburg Fire began two weeks
before the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, it started in a stable

now stands. The flames rushed down Main Street destroying
a good many buildings in the town.
On June 30 during the annual Community Day Celebration, people
will gather on the parking lot of Elias Lutheran Church and
begin their own journey through town that will include learning
more about the fire. The Greater Emmitsburg Area Historical
Society, in conjunction with the Emmitsburg Lions Club, will
be sponsoring two historical walking tours of the town.
The tours will begin at 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Elias Lutheran

make 20 stops as the group walks up one side of West Main
Street and back the other. Each tour will be led by »
