King James Galleries of Gettysburg

06/30/2025

Good Afternoon, it's been awhile! I hope you all are doing well and staying cool. Gettysburg is having typical weather for this time of year. I am doing well and keeping busy!
This week is always special to me, lots of good memories working in the gallery. But mostly because of what Gettysburg stands for; and this is the anniversary weekend of the battle. So thought I would send some info to those getting this post!
A great place to check out events happening is the Gettysburg Experience website, unless you pick up one of their magazines around town.
If you haven't visited Unity Park (across from Mr. G's ice cream), you should! The Confederation of Union Generals will be at Unity Park Encampment, 4-6 July, Gettysburg, PA This is a GREAT PROGRAM, and its FREE!
I'll do my best to post every day for those in Gettysburg as well as those that can't be here. Have a great day

Hello everyone, I apologize for not posting in a while. Retirement is keeping me busy, something a number of you warned me about.

I once again come to you with a heavy heart and sad news. I was informed yesterday by Mort Kunstler's studio that Mort passed away on Sunday, Feb 2nd. I have known this brilliant, talented man for over 30 years, 5 of those years I worked directly for Mort's publishing business American Spirit Publishing. I worked as Mort's dealer rep, travel companion, and just over all "girl Friday". This afforded me the opportunity to work directly with Mort, make business decisions, and spend hours in the car traveling from point A to B listening to many stories of his art, his adventures, who he had worked with and his family. There was mutual respect because we would on only a few occasions - "Agree, to disagree." I have wonderful memories which I will always cherish, and not unlike my customers, my Mort Kunstler collection of artwork hangs in almost every room. Along with a stack of signed books and keepsakes.
To all of you that followed his talent, bought his artwork and came to the numerous artist shows in Gettysburg. Mort loved meeting you and explaining the concept of his paintings. You were so important to him that he left his beloved home and family to be with you. Mort Kunstler is still America's Premier Historical Artist. With over 4,000 sketches and paintings; just open a book of his, you will see western, native American, Revolutionary and of course Civil War among others.
I could go on and on about Mort but I won't today. BUT I will celebrate this man's life by continuing to post over the next week MY experiences here on our page. I would also like to hear your stories with Mort, so please feel free to share.
Mort's service was today, and you can visit Gutterman's Funeral Home's website (Long Island) to view a video of this simple and sweet remembrance of Mort.
God Speed Mort, rest in peace, your friend Debbie.

Happy Fall Everyone! I hope you all are doing well. Where has this year gone? It's hard to believe that we are coming up on the anniversary of our Gettysburg location closing (12-31-23.) I will continue to check in from time to time, mainly because I miss our wonderful customers and visitors.

On a sadder note, for those of you that are collectors of P. Buckley Moss art. July 13, 2024 we lost Pat due to a brief illness. She will be missed. The family has made arrangements for a memorial service this Thursday, Oct. 10th. The following is a link that you may watch via internet....For anyone who is unable to attend the memorial service for Pat Moss, it will be livestreamed this Thursday, October 10th at 10 am eastern. Here is the link to St John the Evangelist church website.

Just checking in! I have officially had both knees replaced (one in Jan. and one 3 weeks ago) and healing well.
Wondering how everyone is doing? While the gallery is officially closed, I will still keep up the page, as a place for folks to ask questions, offer information, etc. There is so much to talk about
when it comes to our history. I have learned as much from customers over the years as I have offered to customers.
I am looking forward to spending time on the battlefield with my customers...now friends this year! (But give me till June to get back on my feet without a walker or cane!)
Talk with you soon!
