<<For those who are concerned that a paved/crushed stone/gravel path to the
site would violate the sacred battlefieldness of the site, I might mention
that
back in 1863 a farm lane led to the Bliss Farm from the Emmitsburg Road.>>
During the Spring Muster tour, we followed the Brian farm lane to the
Emmitsburg Road before proceeding to the Bliss farm area. It does not look
much different than the rest of the Brian fields, except perhaps the grass
is cut a little lower. There is an opening in the fence along the road to
permit passage. I would not have known the lane was there if the tour guide
had not pointed it out.
