“From North Antrim To Gettysburg. ‘On this July morning my heart recalls the summer fields of hame, the townland of my mother, the sound and smells of the lower meadow. These memories I carry into battle between the drum beats of my heart.’ John McPherson, Confederate soldier, Gettysburg July 1st 1863. This mural marks the Trans-Atlantic heritage of our ancestors who set out from these fields, shores and townlands to establish a new life, and in doing so, helped create the United States of America.”
