This exhibit tells the story of the story of the Hopkins family and the excavation of their home, located between Pennsylvania Hall and Musselman Library.
From 2021-2025, Gettysburg students have gained hands-on archeological experience through digs on campus. Guided by Professors Kirby Farah and Benjamin Luley, students learned field methods. They uncovered nineteenth-century pottery and glass shards, nails and other metal artifacts, bones and oyster shells, and Civil War ammunition.
Michael Aaron ’26 and Riley Yorke ’26 curated this exhibit.

The Youngerman works on display are selections from the Gettysburg College collection, a gift from Lawrence A. and Pamela J. Rosenberg in 1991. These pieces are from his limited edition “Mandala” series, embossed silkscreens he created between 1970 and 1989. Their bold colors and geometric precision exemplify Youngerman’s lifelong interest in both abstraction and organic form.
View this exhibit in the apse of the library’s main level, now through June 2026.

We are fascinated by travel: its excitement, its rewards, and even its risks. Experiencing the world can reaffirm beliefs, but it can also challenge them. Travel literature is a conversation about an evolving world. Historically, these stories have been written by men. Women’s accounts in this exhibit provide alternative perspectives on these global interactions. Women travel for pleasure, work, or living abroad. All the while, they engage with cultures, people, and politics different from their own. Ultimately, these women writers describe both their journeys across continents and through life.
