Schmucker Hall, Civil War museum in Gettysburg, United States.
The Seminary Ridge Museum occupies a four-story brick building with a central cupola that presents exhibits about the American Civil War period.
Constructed in 1832 as the Lutheran Theological Seminary's first building, Schmucker Hall served as a field hospital during the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg.
The museum presents exhibitions that examine the complex relationships between religious groups and their positions on slavery during the Civil War period.
Visitors can access the museum daily through guided tours that include access to the cupola, which functioned as an observation point during battle.
The building's heating system incorporates ground-source geothermal technology while maintaining the structure's original 19th-century architectural features.
