A native of Somerville, New Jersey, Arabella Griffith Barlow was the wife of Union General Francis C. Barlow. Arabella joined the U.S. Sanitary Commission as a nurse in 1862 and assisted in the treatment of wounded and ill soldiers. She came to Gettysburg following her husband’s wounding on July 1, 1863, and helped nurse him back to health in the following months. The next summer, she contracted typhoid fever while treating ailing Union soldiers in Virginia and died on July 27, 1864.

We recently hosted young men from Philadelphia-area high schools for a "Run Free" event with The Ahmaud Arbery Foundation. The students went through three experiential learning modules throughout the weekend where they talked about Black leaders from the past, social justice, and positive leadership. They also traveled to the George Spangler Farm & Field Hospital and participated in a team building exercise.
