Gettysburg - Restored Farm
In the southern part of the battlefield, farms like this saw less battle damage but still suffered a lot. Livestock was killed or run off. Even after the battle, Union soldiers "cleaning up" after the fighting sometimes vandalized and looted farmhouses on their own territory. The National Park Service has restored and protected such places, making the battlefield park one of the most visited places in the country.
