January - December 2026
Exhibit at Musselman Library
Main Level Apse
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.
