SBPA President Dr. Mike Nickerson hosted a distinguished visitor to the Shepherdstown Battlefield on Friday afternoon, October 27, namely the acting Superintendent of the Harper’s Ferry National Park.

Superintendent Tanya Gossett enjoyed the tour, viewed battle artifacts and information, and discussed the future options for establishing a new National Battlefield associated with both Harper’s Ferry and Antietam.

She praised the 19 years of preservation efforts by the SBPA, Jeff Co Historic Landmarks Commission, the WV Farmland Protection Board and the Land Trust of the Eastern Panhandle. Thanks for your support Tanya!
