GETTYSBURG GETS IT DONE

The home of free African American blacksmith James Warfield along West Confederate Avenue is being restored to how it appeared in 1863, when the Warfields A brownish spray that appeared on the base of the Arkansas Memorial at Gettysburg National Military Park on July 22, 2020, was not vandalism, as some on social media feared, but a deliberate act of preservation. Park officials use rainfall as an ideal time to apply a biological cleaning agent, D/2 Biological Solution, to remove algae, mold, and lichen from memorials throughout the park. The agent is left on overnight, bleaches in the sun, and is later removed.
