00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:04.000
We've now moved to the northern end
of what I call the broad flat knoll.

00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:07.050
You can look here behind me
and you can see

00:00:07.050 --> 00:00:10.050
the present Gettysburg Hospital.

00:00:10.100 --> 00:00:12.150
And you also to the right of it

00:00:12.150 --> 00:00:15.200
can see the blue water tower that now

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:19.050
stands on the northern slopes

00:00:19.150 --> 00:00:21.750
of Cemetery Hill.

00:00:21.750 --> 00:00:26.850
Also, you'll notice how the road Gettys
Street here goes up and then

00:00:26.900 --> 00:00:28.250
it sort of disappears.

00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:30.500
It goes right over that broad flat

00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:34.650
knoll I'm talking about it
actually drops down to South

00:00:34.650 --> 00:00:38.850
Washington Street near the Alexander
Dobbin house.

00:00:38.950 --> 00:00:42.650
We're still standing here on Long Lane
by Gettys Street.

00:00:42.850 --> 00:00:47.900
But if you look here behind me,
you can see Long Lane as it looks today.

00:00:47.950 --> 00:00:51.800
This section of Long Lane
where we're standing here is approximately

00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:57.650
where the original Long Lane was
laid out back probably about 1809, 1810.

00:00:57.750 --> 00:01:00.500
It actually accessed out lots or

00:01:00.500 --> 00:01:04.250
like little truck farms
for the people who lived in town.

00:01:04.300 --> 00:01:06.550
If they needed some food to grow
some food,

00:01:06.550 --> 00:01:09.500
they purchased
land out here along this lane.

00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:12.300
At some points it will be sunken.

00:01:12.350 --> 00:01:13.750
Now, if we also keep looking.

00:01:13.750 --> 00:01:16.050
We're now panning towards the southwest.

00:01:16.050 --> 00:01:18.900
You can see Long Lane
going down there in the distance,

00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:24.500
but you might be able to see down there
a red truck.

00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:26.450
And you see by a white building,

00:01:26.450 --> 00:01:31.400
you can see a door facing us right
behind the guy with the baby stroller.

00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:32.350
Okay.

00:01:32.350 --> 00:01:36.800
Well, you see how long Lane
deviates to the left or to the east?

00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:40.850
The original lane, however, continued
straight and went straight

00:01:40.850 --> 00:01:44.700
for about another quarter mile,
then made two right angled turns

00:01:44.950 --> 00:01:48.800
and actually ended at the northwest corner
of the William Bliss Farm.
