Zepheniah Taney farm at Gettysburg

The farm of Charles Zepheniah Taney was across Rock Creek fom Spangler's Spring. Taney had enlisted in Company K of the 1st Pennsylvania Reserves Regiment (who fought at Gettysburg near the Wheatfield), but he had been injured and captured during the Seven Days Battles in 1862 and had been discharged.

The farmhouse, which was part way up the hillside overlooking Spangler's Spring, was used by Confederate sharpshooters to fire at the Union troops of Silas Colgroves' Brigade.

The farm today is owned by the National Park Service, but is hard to find and rarely visited. Only the ruins of the house and barn remain.
