Description
The Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg was founded in 1826 under the theologian and professor Samuel Simon Schmucker. Originally a seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), it was the oldest continuing Lutheran college in the USA until it was merged on July 1 2017 with the nearby and former rival Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia to form the United Lutheran Seminary. Schmucker Hall was the original Seminary building and used as a field hospital by both Union and Confederate forces during the famous Civil War battle in 1863. After restoration it was reopened in 2013 (the 150th anniversary of the battle) as the the Seminary Ridge Museum. In the background is the chapel, built in 1942.
