This farm is considered the Sixth Corps hospital. Since the Sixth Corps was not heavily engaged in battle they had few casualties. The hospital served the Second, Third, and Fifth Corps under the direction of Dr. Chamberlain and Dr. Oakley. This hospital served about 200 wounded. The U.S. Government hospital marked near the site states, ” The division field hospitals of the Sixth Corps were established July 2, 1863 near the Trostle House…these hospitals cared for 315 wounded. The wounded were kept on the barn floor but due to the heat, they were moved outside onto the hill behind the barn in order to prevent infection. This hospital was built and finished in the Spring of 1863. Siding from the barn was used for coffins. 88 Union soldiers and 11 confederates were buried on this farm near an area known as ” Walnut Row.”
