the observation tower blown up? If so what time is the event?

They're going to blow up the observation tower!!!???? The BIG ONE??? I grew up in York just down the road a piece and have been in that tower a thousand times, give or take a hundred. This is a joke, right?

No joke. The Park Service took it by Eminent
Domain. I can't find out when they are doing
it.

I live about 45 minutes from Gettysburg and my sons really enjoyed going up the tower. It was a great way to see the battlefield.

can't say the exact time it will go but it is scheduled for right after pickets charge on monday. they are going to fire all the cannons 19 secons before the demolition so it will appear the renactors blew it up
