History

Pitzer Woods was the site of July 1st & 2nd fighting during the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg.[1] After the CCC camp closed, Fort Indiantown Gap used Pitzer Woods in 1941 and conducted aerial reconnaissance training using the battlefield.[2] During 1943-4, Camp Sharpe used the Pitzer Woods camp ("in a muddy hollow at the bottom of a slanting road")[3] to train soldiers for psychological operations in the European Theater of Operations. In 1946, agricultural laborers from the Bahamas (July 16)[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=hHglAAAAIBAJ&sjid=BfMFAAAAIBAJ&pg=6050,4884545&dq=prisoner-of-war+camp+gettysburg&hl=en] and Jamaica were housed on Seminary Ridge. The Pitzer Woods amphitheater was constructed in the 1960s,[4] and the July 3, 1998 James Longstreet memorial was erected at the Pitzer Woods site that had been dedicated in 1941.[5]
