Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: August 16, 2008
Caption: Willoughby Run
Additional Description: The creek bisects the First Day battlefield from north to south, crossing the Chambersburg Pike to the west of Stone-Meredith Avenue. The Run continues south, to the west of Seminary Ridge, eventually emptying into Marsh Creek. Throughout the morning fighting on July 1, the Confederates and Federals contested Willoughby Run. The 26th North Carolina pushed up the east side of the Run and finally settled the matter after a costly exchange with the Iron Brigade.
