Hanover Explores Its Historic Heart

June 30th, 1863, changed Hanover from a stop on a well-used route to a Civil War battle site whose outcomes impacted the more famous battle to the west in Gettysburg. Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart, Brig. Gen. Elon Farnsworth, and Brig. Gen. George A. Custer are all military leaders who influenced the day. The delay that the unexpected fighting caused for Stuart is considered by many to be a crucial factor in the outcome of July 1st through the 3rd in Gettysburg. A wide range of events will be held on June 28th and 29th to commemorate Hanover's memorable historical place.
