Located in the middle of a roundabout in downtown Chamberburg where Main Street meets Lincoln…read moreHighway, the fountain is surrounded by plaques dedicated to those who lost their lives in service of this city and borough throughout several wars and conflicts. Of course, the Civil War was the big one here, as the Mason-Dixon line is just south and the Confederate and the Union soldiers passed through here a number of times. And not always in a good way - I understand that the Confederates burned the town to the ground when the ransom was not paid. There is no easy way to get close to it as the crosswalks are for going across Main Street and such. Just wait for a break in the traffic and be wary. The plaque reads: Erected at center of Memorial Square to honor over 5,000 Franklin County soldiers who served in Civil War, 161-1865. Secured through gifts of Franklin County citizens and dedicated July 17, 1878. Entered in National Register of Historic Places, May 19, 1978.

Despite orders not to, General Early burned the iron works to the ground, looted the company store, took provisions and appropriated all the corn and grain in the mills. The furnace was destroyed and never rebuilt. When asked in 1886 why he had burned the Caledonia works in spite of General Lee's orders to the contrary, Early stated that the destruction was in retaliation for similar depredations by Union soldiers in the South, and for Stevens' political speeches in Congress. "Mr. Stevens had exhibited a most vindictive spirit toward the people of the South, as he continued to do until the day of his death." The marker reads: Erected in 1837 by Thaddeus Stevensa nd James D. Paxton. Stevens antislavery stand led to its destruction by Gen. Jubal Early, June 26, 1863, on his way to York during the early Gettysburg campaign.
