For more than 11 years, since Seminary Ridge Museum opened on July 1, 2013, among visitors’ most asked questions has been, “Did Robert E. Lee use the Seminary Cupola?” Codie Eash, who has been part of the SRMEC staff since 2012, has pondered that inquiry for the past decade, frequently engaging with inquisitive minds on evidence for and against the Confederate commander’s potential use of Gettysburg’s most famous observation post. Having amassed dozens of primary sources, historians’ perspectives, and statements from Gettysburg National Military Park, Adams County Historical Society, and leading Lee experts, now Codie will take on that question in a standalone program for the first time, and invite audience members to draw new conclusions based on the evidence presented.
