    Another great story about the evolution of the battlefield. When did they remove the rock and what did they do with it? I'm sure you will fill us in if you get more info on this. Thanks, Tim!

    Did the Gettysburg Electric Trolley pass by here? If it did, it should be shown in the second photo dated 1898. Either way it would be worthwhile to look into their construction records if possible. I wonder if the area where the boulder stood could have part of a ‘contested’ part of the route, that was forced to be re-routed.

    Love it! The question is: What did they do with "The Rock in the Road"?

    It would probably take some extremely diligent combing of records but knowing the last year the most recent photo was taken, would there be county work-orders preserved from that year on ?

    Check to see if they just pushed it off to the side of the read nearby, it's also possible someone put the rock at their house.

    Check with the county. I’d bet somewhere in their records it will show when the county removed it

    Great info but please use a tripod when you film! The camera movement was hard on the eyes.

    Is this a different rock from the rock on the side of the road?

    That was what I wondered. Did someone feel the rock had significance and re-route the road AROUND it? I would guess if it was still there, Tim would have found it.

    @maxshenkwrites there is one. We climbed it, but I don't know if it's the same one.

    It's my opinion that the area of Devil's Den, with all those rock structures, was of much importance to Native Americans. A large rock directly in the middle of the road seems to scream NA influence.

    Do you think they possibly buried the rock and raised the elevation of the road around it? Otherwise I expect that they blasted it and carried it away in chunks.
