Give a tangible piece of history this holiday season by gifting a piece from Gettysburg Sentinels!
From decorative to functional, these handcrafted items are made from trees imbued with special significance — grown in the soil of the Gettysburg battlefield.
Gettysburg Sentinels owner Greg Allen crafts these products from wood reclaimed from Witness Trees — trees that were standing during the Gettysburg Campaign — and from Battlefield Trees, those trees found on battlefield grounds but were not present in 1863.
Greg breathes new life into this ethically salvaged wood, letting the wood speak to and guide him in the creation of each piece. These handcrafted gifts serve as tangible links to our shared heritage, inspiring reflection, curiosity and a deeper connection to the soldiers who fought on this hallowed ground more than 160 years ago.
Every order comes stunningly packaged and includes an original watercolor artwork card featuring the leaves of some of the trees. Also included is a documentation sheet providing the story behind the trees.
