New! The Mountaintop Living History Society

Welcome to the website of the Catoctin Civil War Heritage Society. This website serves as part of the Emmitsburg Historical Society's Civil War Heritage & Educational Program. It's purpose is to guide and help us identify & raise awareness and to educate the public about the Civil War significance of the Emmitsburg and Thurmont area.

The Catoctin Mountain Civil War Heritage Society is based upon three towns located along the Catoctin Mountain. Lewistown, Thurmont and Emmitsburg has such a unique Civil War history that is often overlooked.

Our organization started out as the Tom's Creek Battlefield Foundation. Since the creation of the Monterey Pass Battlefield Association we have accomplished out number one goal, which was to aid and help preserve. Because of that we changed our name to the Catoctin Civil War Heritage Society separating Northern Frederick County and the Monterey areas.

If your community organization is interested in having us come out to do a display, or to talk about the Greater Emmitsburg Area, please feel free to email us!
