Gettysburg will have the first museum dedicated to its Black history

Not long ago, the Hopkins House in Gettysburg - the last remaining Civil War-era log cabin that had been owned by Black citizens - was scheduled for demolition. Instead, thanks to community activists, historians and fundraisers, the nearly 200-year-old building is being preserved as a museum. It will become the first museum in Gettysburg devoted to the area’s Black history. – PennLive article
