  • Chapter 3: Historic Resources Plan
    Chapter 3 Historic Resources Plan The Brandywine Battlefield covers 35,000 acres, of which 14,000 acres have remained undeveloped since 1777. As a result, there are abundant historic resources within the Battlefield which has been designated as a “Protected Areas of National Significance” in Landscapes2, the Chester County Comprehensive Policy Plan. The 2010 ABPP Battle of Brandywine: Historic Resource Survey and Animated Map (2010 ABPP Survey) identified numerous historic resources that are further evaluated in this chapter, along with newly identified resources. This chapter also discusses the Brandywine Battlefield National Landmark (the Landmark) which, until now, was never mapped using modern cartographical methods. This chapter also discusses “Battlefield Planning Boundaries” which are mapped resource areas used in municipal land use ordinances. Lastly, this chapter identifies historic sites which could be protected as open space, and then addresses municipal ordinances that address historic resources preservation. This chapter also includes a Historic Resources Plan for the Battlefield. This plan was developed based on an evaluation that prioritizes those parts of the Battlefield that are well suited to be studied in greater detail or protected. The Battlefield is large and includes extensive areas of developed land in which there are no existing historic structures. Even the topography of the land has been graded in many areas so that hills or swales that were present in 1777 no longer exist. To determine what areas warrant further study and protection, an analysis was conducted that focuses on historic resources such as buildings; land areas that were used by troops for camping, marching, or combat; and defining features such as villages or streams that were important to the events of the Battle.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, the barracks has adapted itself to a variety of public uses: a state armory, an agricultural exhibition hall, a temporary hos­ pital during the Civil War, and finally the first classrooms for the Maryland School for the Deaf.

  • Curated Ground: Public History, Military Memory, and Shared Authority at Battle Sites in North America
    CURATED GROUND: PUBLIC HISTORY, MILITARY MEMORY, AND SHARED AUTHORITY AT BATTLE SITES IN NORTH AMERICA A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS by Joseph T. Humnicky Diploma Date May 2020 Thesis Approvals: Dr. Seth Bruggeman, Thesis Advisor, History Dr. Hilary Iris Lowe, History ABSTRACT This thesis is a synthesis of two separate research projects conducted in the summer of 2018 and the spring of 2020. The first project was conducted in conjunction with the Fort Ticonderoga Association as a means of exploring the memory and legacy of a historic military landmark in written history, interpretation, and public memory. The second project was conducted in conjunction with the National Park Service (NPS) and the American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Instead of focusing on a single site, this second study looked at a collection of federal, state, local, and private battlefields in order to catalog the administrative histories, the boundary expansions, and the preservation priorities that have occurred both at the individual sites as well as collectively over time. The scope of the NEH grant was meant to evaluate the role that the NPS, ABPP, and the Department of the Interior have played in developing and refining preservation standards used by federal and non-federal sites. This thesis integrates the two studies in order to examine the correlation between public memory and battle sites in North America.

  • Maryland Civil War Heritage Area Vision
    Maryland Civil War Heritage Area Management Plan Resources The significance of the Civil War story is undisputed nationwide: the war, its causes, and the aftermath have shaped the country’s cultural landscape in countless ways. The evidence of the Civil War in this region is also clear: major battles took place here, important decisions were made here, and notable Civil War era personalities passed through here. Thus, the challenges for the heritage area are not primarily about identifying the area’s history or increasing awareness of important heritage resources, as is often the case. There is an unusually high level of public understanding of the presence of historic resources and the powerful story. The heritage resources in the region form a strong, comprehensive basis from which the heritage area can build and operate. The timeline in Appendix A illustrates the importance and breadth of Civil War events that took place within the heritage area. Civil War Heritage Resources Military Resources Battlefields. The battlefields in the heritage area are its most important and obvious Civil War resources. Three principal Civil War battles took place within the heritage area’s boundaries, plus a number of smaller battles and skirmishes. Sites of battles and skirmishes include: Antietam National Battlefield/Sharpsburg, Washington County Monocacy National Battlefield, Frederick County South Mountain State Battlefield: Fox’s Gap, Turner’s Gap, and Crampton’s Gap; Frederick and Washington Counties Boonsboro, Washington County Burkittsville, Frederick County Fort Frederick, Washington County Frederick, Frederick County Funkstown, Washington County Hagerstown, Washington County Hancock, Washington County Maryland Heights/Elk Ridge, Washington County Smithsburg, Washington County Westminster, Carroll County Williamsport, Washington County Both Civil War “buffs” and more moderately interested heritage travelers are likely to visit the major battlefields when in the heritage area.

  • Appendix G – Historic and Cultural Resources
    G Historic and Cultural Resources Appendix G – Historic and Cultural Resources G.1 Inventory of Historic Resources This appendix provides an inventory of historical resources identified and evaluated as part of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Washington, D.C. Optimization of Airspace Procedures in the Metroplex (DC OAPM) project. G.1.1 Inventory The inventory of historic resources includes all properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) located within the General Study Area. Spatial data for these properties was downloaded from the National Park Service website (nrhp.focus.nps.gov/natreg/docs/Download.htm) in August 2012. This database was augmented in February 2013 with additional data reflecting newly listed properties on the National Register. G.1.2 Consultation On December 13, 2012, early notification letters announcing the preparation of an EA for the DC OAPM project and requesting additional information relevant to the project were distributed to relevant public officials, including the State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs) for the states located within the General Study Area and 17 Native American tribes. Responses were received from the following agencies: Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, Bureau of Historic Preservation Maryland Historical Trust West Virginia Division of Culture and History Virginia Department of Historic Resources The response letters are included in Appendix A. G.1.3 Noise Exposure at Historic Sites Table G-1 identifies the 2,690 historic resources identified within the General Study Area and for which noise was modeled. The inventory includes the name, address, and geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) of each historic resource, and presents the calculated noise exposure values under 2011 existing conditions and Proposed Action and No Action conditions for 2013 and 2018.
