Join Licensed Battlefield Guide Jasan Hileman for a comprehensive look at the Moses McClean farm within the Gettysburg National Military Park. Situated
along the Mummasburg Road just north of town, the farm location becomes a collision point of contending armies on July 1. Like many of the ‘battlefield
farms’, it’s history before and after the battle are largely forgotten. Journey back in time as Jasan reviews the story of the family living on the farm and how they coped with hundreds of troops and horses tramping through their crops, occupying their buildings, and taking their possessions. Through careful
research of tax records, property deeds, and damage claims he brings their story alive.

Jasan Hileman resides in nearby Greencastle, PA with his wife Denise and three children. In addition to his commitment as a Licensed Battlefield Guide, Jasan
works full time for First Energy’s Potomac Edison Company in Maryland.

He has been studying Civil War history since 1991 and became a Licensed Battlefield Guide for the Gettysburg National Military Park in 2016.
