    Material from the John Felty Barn located in Hunterstown, PA

     These two clearly show a glimpse of the undercarriage of the John Felty barn that was once located on the south end of Hunterstown, Pennsylvania. Centre Mills today maintains ownership of the wide oak barn planks that once rested on top of the carrier beams here displayed. On the 2nd of July 1863, George Armstong Custer ordered his 6th and 7th Michigan cavalries to dismount and take position in this barn. The 6th & 7th were Custer's best marksmen. It was their responsibility to hide in this barn and eventually to ambush Wade Hampton and his South Carolina regiment, which they did. The footprints of Custer's 6th & 7th Mi. cavalries, at least the memory of those footprints, remain on these planks. Centre  Mills is determined to keep these planks in Adams County. The planks are displayed in the above photos under rubber tarps.

    Today, stored at Centre Mills, is a pile of the noticeable carrier beams (one can see how the sleepers were morticed into the stringers) that match the photos above showing the undercarriage of the Felty barn, which was built in the late 1850's. Proof is available and newspaper articles can be provided that give evidence that Centre  Mills not only razed this Felty barn, but also has saved for posterity its cherishable, embellished with history, wide, oak barn planks.
