Photo 1-DAD-5 from 1966

Comments

This is near the location of the BELCO Credit Union on York Rd (RT30) before Natural Springs Road in Gettysburg looking south. The building in the picture was torn down. Hilton Gardens now occupies the space where the trailers are located in the picture. The old trailer park that was displaced when Giant was built is located just out of view toward the top of the picture. The road and T that are visible were roads into the trailer park. In this 1966 picture the park is not yet full. As of this posting (4/17/2022) remnants of the trailer park are still visible to the east of the Giant parking lot. This is also part of Camp Letterman which is documented on placards in the area.

As of 7/25 the last remnants of the trailer park are gone. That is now the location of the new ALDI store. An apartment/condo complex is being built.
