Day 38:The Town That Grandpa Beeson Founded...

Today we continued our journey to Pennsylvania...

We drove through Ohio and passed through West Virginia...

Into Pennsylvania...

We are leaving "nothing but corn as far as you can see" country and entering "oak trees as far as you can see" country...

Our first destination was Uniontown, PA... founded on July 4th, 1776 by my great...grandfather Beeson (It was originally known as Beesontown).

We spent a couple of hours in the public library researching family history.

Debra found a newspaper article that mentioned the location of this home that was built by Grandpa Beeson in 1804 and is currently a privately owned residence.

When the sun went down, we headed to Gettysburg, PA, which dropped us down into Maryland for about and hour before bringing us back up into Gettysburg for the evening (around 11:30 p.m.)

Tomorrow we will tour the battlefields.
