The goal of the preservation is to revitalize the house to become a tourist attraction. <\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top:15px; margin-bottom:0px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/battle-of-cramptons-gap-reenactment\/\">View Battle of Cramptons Gap Reenactment Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","slug":"hamilton-willard-shafer-farm","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667.jpg","id":27720,"extension":"jpg","width":1000,"height":667,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-300x200.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":512,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-768x512.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-177x142.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":133,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-200x133.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":267,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-400x267.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-600x400.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":534,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-25b-1000x667-800x534.jpg"}}},"address":"1606 Gapland Road","city":"Burkittsville","country":"United States","state":"MD","zip":"21755","website":"https:\/\/frederickcountymd.gov\/7169\/Hamilton-Willard-Shafer-Farm-House","stateprovince":"MD","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Hamilton Willard Shafer Farm","description":"&lt;p&gt;The Hamilton Willard Shafer Farm House is located in Burkittsville, Maryland and is a federally recognized 501(c)3 developed for the preservation of the Town of Burkittsville.

We are preserving the buildings and the open spaces so a visitor can experience the homes and the view shed, and the rolling hills of Burkittsville as a nineteenth visitor would have found them.<\/p>\n<p>[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;Read More&#8221;]\nThe Burkittsville Preservation Association, Inc. participates in the Maryland Heritage Area (MHAA), Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) and as a Land Trust (MET). We ask for public support to help preserve this special place in Maryland.<\/p>\n<p>Burkittsville is a small rural town steeped in history and left virtually unchanged over the past 100 years. Some of its structures date back to the 1740s, when it was a trading village. It eventually developed into an agricultural support village for the farming community. Local craftsmen, iron and leather workers, cabinet shops, general stores and physicians were available in Burkittsville. The town is surrounded by some of the richest agricultural land in Frederick County. The fields were covered in grain crops especially rye which was used to produce some of Maryland\u2019s finest rye whiskey.<\/p>\n<p>The Civil War was brought to a quiet valley when Gen. Robert E. Lee crossed into Maryland in an attempt to influence Maryland to secede and to demonstrate to the Federal Government the South\u2019s ability to move an army and threaten Washington. Lee crossed the Potomac and moved into Frederick City looking for local support. Realizing Lee\u2019s move into Maryland, McClellan, who had been put back in charge of the army, moved from Washington to Frederick to confront Lee. Lee move west into the Middletown Valley and McClellan followed. Lee blocked the South Mountain Passes, Turners, Foxes and Crampton\u2019s Gap. Crampton\u2019s Gap is just above the Town of Burkittsville and the road to the pass runs through Burkittsville.<\/p>\n<p>The first full engagement of the Confederate and Federal armies took place in the Middletown Valley. Burkittsville had to play its role as it lay between the opposing armies. Nearly 2000 Confederates led by Howell Cobb and nearly 13,000 Federal soldiers under the command of Gen. Wm. B. Franklin fought in Burkittsville and the surrounding area. They commandeered buildings, some used as surgeries, saw substantial damage as did many private residences. Gen. Wm. B. Franklin commandeered the Shafer farm (Hamilton Willard Shafer) to view the progress of his army in taking Crampton\u2019s Gap, but due to the delay in taking that Gap and not having provided relief in Harper\u2019s Ferry from an attack by Stonewall Jackson, he was sent to Sharpsburg along the Antietam Creek. This set up the bloodiest single day in the Civil War.[\/su_spoiler][\/su_accordion]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top:15px; margin-bottom:0px;\"><a class=\"blue\" href=\"\/site\/event\/battle-of-cramptons-gap-reenactment\/\">View Battle of Cramptons Gap Reenactment Details<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","slug":"burkittsville-preservation-association-inc","image":{"url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667.jpg","id":27718,"extension":"jpg","width":1000,"height":667,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-300x200.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":512,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-768x512.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-177x142.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":133,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-200x133.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":267,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-400x267.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-600x400.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":534,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Battle-of-Cramptons-Gap-Reenactment-10-1000x667-800x534.jpg"}}},"phone":"(301) 693-8373","website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Burkittsville.Preservation.Association\/","email":"pauljgilligan@comcast.net","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"Burkittsville Preservation Association, Inc.","description":"&lt;p&gt;The Burkittsville Preservation Association, Inc. is dedicated to the preservation of the story, the Town of Burkittsville, and the surrounding areas in which these events took place.

I (116th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Co.I Reenactors), Irish Brigade (Reenactors), began as simply &#8220;The Irish Brigade&#8221; in April, 1976, an off-shoot of another seminal reenacting unit known as &#8220;Sherman&#8217;s Bummers,&#8221; beginning as early as 1965. By 1982 reenacting had evolved to the point as to make it necessary to take on a designation more realistic to the unit&#8217;s size. Co. I, 116th PVI was the sole Irish Brigade company from Pittsburgh, and most of our men being from that city, that designation was chosen. Authentic reenacting owes a great debt to both Sherman&#8217;s Bummers and the early Irish Brigade, they being some of the first to dress in authentic uniform, drill properly and present the most realistic period camp-sites.[su_accordion][su_spoiler title=&#8221;Read More&#8221;]\nMuch like the Irish Brigade toward the end of the Civil War, the spirit that has driven our company is reverently guarded by a small number of devoted men, and not likely to disappear in the perceptible future. After so many years, revered traditions of our own have become established, such as the St. Patrick&#8217;s Day Parade and Annual Meeting in March, in November the Gettysburg Remembrance Day Parade and ceremonial gathering at the Irish Brigade monument, honoring not only the dead of the original Irish Brigade of the Civil War, but those on our own Roll of Honor. The unit remains dedicated to presenting the most authentic portrayal of the Union Soldier, and to striking the most realistic and appealing balance between the characteristics that made up the Irish Brigade: fearless fighting spirit, honor to duty, courage and discipline under fire, and an uproarious ability to have fun. All glory to the old 116th, Irish Brigade, past and present!<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"events\">Join the 116th PVI Co.
