Auction raises funds for battlefield preservation |
|
Chambersburg Civil War Seminars raises funds for battlefield preservation each year through its annual Luhn Memorial Auction.
The seminars have raised more than $140,000 for battlefield preservation since their inception in 1989. The auction is in memory of Civil War historian and preservationist Ed Luhn. Hundreds of books, prints, memorabilia, gift certificates, and other items related to the Civil War and American history are auctioned each year during the July seminar. The proceeds go to organizations such as The Civil War Preservation Trust, Gettysburg Foundation and The Save Historic Antietam Foundation. |
