Where did the Gettysburg people sleep?

During the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, many soldiers slept in makeshift camps, often in the fields or wooded areas surrounding the town. Civilians in Gettysburg opened their homes to wounded soldiers and offered shelter, while others sought refuge in nearby buildings or basements. After the battle, the town itself became a site for temporary hospitals, where many continued to rest and recover. The conditions were often cramped and uncomfortable, reflecting the chaos of war.
