The Ray family not only lost much of their property to foraging soldiers, but they witnessed the horrifying toll of battle when their home became a makeshift field hospital. The historic Ray House and Springhouse are the only surviving period structures from 1861 in the park, which is one of the country’s best-preserved Civil War battlefields.
