🇺🇸 New Bethlehem History at Gettysburg!

What an incredible hometown connection! ❤️ While visiting Gettysburg, community member, Pastor Dan Hardy, discovered this Civil War-era patriotic apron once owned and worn by Mary Himes Fox of New Bethlehem. 🇺🇸

Mary wore the apron in support of the Union and her husband, Henry B. Fox, who served with the 148th Pennsylvania Infantry and fought at Gettysburg. Its bib features 34 white stars, one for each state in the Union at the time. ⭐ Her story and patriotic apron were also featured in the May 2005 issue of Civil War Historian Magazine. (Genealogy Center⁠)

Thank you for spotting and sharing this special piece of New Bethlehem history! 🙏❤️
