Outdoor Country Show Announced Gathering On The Farm To Be Held In Gettysburg On May 14 Show promotor Connie Gleed will be holding a show, titled Gathering on the Farm, in Gettysburg, Pa., on Saturday, May 14. There will be dealers set up under tents, plus in a barn. The owner’s shop will also be open in two log cabins on the property. The show will be held at 1042 Bullfrog Road, Fairfield, Pa., from 9 a.m to 3 p.m. Admission is free of charge. A sheriff sale purchase in 1980,
the farm is the home of Linda and Joe Bowden. It was love at first sight. The log portion of the house dates to 1740, and the stone, to 1830. In 1930, an addition was added to the stone portion. The Trader’s Cabin behind the house dates to 1720. From the 1730s into the 1740s, it was a dwelling for Swedish explorer Hans Steelman, an Indian trader and interpreter. After the Battle of Gettysburg
and prior to Confederate troops moving South, diaries tell stories of temporary bivouacs/camps set up on the farm. The Bowdens raised sheep on the land, and the house and barn are registered by Historic Gettysburg as historic structures. The Trader’s Cabin remains among the earliest structures in the area. In the last 10 years, Joe Bowden restored the original bake oven at the rear of the kitchen. The main
cabin was built by Joe and houses the couple’s antiques shop. Joe worked as a national park ranger/criminal investigator for 20 years at the Gettysburg National Military Park. His last assignment before retirement was being the park liaison with Turner Broadcasting for the filming of the documentary “Gettysburg” in 2002. Linda is a school teacher. Continued on page 3
