Photo of Pry House
Phillip Pry's prosperous farm and home was taken over by Union commander
George McClellan to use as his headquarters during the battle. Afterward,
General Israel Richardson, who was wounded in the action at Bloody Lane,
was taken to the Pry House where he died in an upstairs bedroom on
November 3rd. President Lincoln visited the Pry house to see
the wounded Richardson during his four day visit in early October.
