The George Weikert farm is at the corner where United States Avenue, Sedgwick Avenue and Hancock Avenue come together. It is one of several Weickert farms in the area at the time of the battle, with three belonging to George’s sons and another to a distant cousin. There is also a George W. Weickert farm, also known as the Timbers farm, south of Brooke Avenue.
George Weikert was born around 1801 and moved to the Gettysburg area from Maryland in 1838. He bought the 78 acre farm north of Little Round Top in 1852.
George and his family left the farm during the fighting. Afterwards they returned to scenes of desolation familiar to many Gettysburg residents. The house was a field hospital, with wounded filling the parlor and amputated arms and legs piled outside the windows. According to family history, six men died just in the parlor, and the yard was filled with graves. When the buried were exhumed to be placed in the National Cemetery, the missing parlor rug was found, cut into strips as the top and bottom layers of the burial trench.
After the battle the farm was purchased by survivors of the New Jersey Brigade to preserve the land that the brigade held during the battle. The New Jersey Brigade’s monument is about 200 yards east of Weickert farmhouse. The farm today is owned by the National Park Service.
George laid down in his big box this morning when I was sewing. He rested his little head on the washcloth! I could hardly contain myself it was so cute!

George is my teddy bear. he's not all that old or anything, but he's very special. In 1993, when I was 47 years old, I located my birth mother's family and went to visit them in California. My mother died 11 years prior to my finding the family, but her sister, my Aunt Evelyn, and her husband, my Uncle Jack became major people in my life.
The first trip I made to California was for a little over three weeks, and at some point very early in my visit, we were in a TJ Maxx store in Northridge, CA, and they had this wonderful display of these little brown Teddies. Believe it or not, I never had a Teddy Bear as a child!!! I had lots of other stuffies, but never a Teddy. My uncle saw me holding the bear and he asked me if it reminded me of one i had as a child. When I told him I didn't have one, he bought this one for me. It became something of a companion for me, and he flew home with me in my sewing bag!!
I named him "George" after a friend who was instrumental in helping me find the family.

Overlooking the Niagara River, Fort George was built between 1796 and 1802. This fortification served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army during the War of 1812, and played a pivotal role in the defence of Upper Canada. Fort George saw action during the Battle of Queenston Heights, was destroyed and captured by the Americans during the Battle of Fort George, and was reclaimed by the British seven months later.
The 41st (Welch) Regiment of Foot was an infantry regiment of the British Army, formed in 1719 and amalgamated into The Welch Regiment in 1881.
The 41st regiment served with distinction in Canada during the War of 1812 where it gained more battle honours than any other British unit during that period.
