The Lee-Meade Inn was a World War II army site on the Gettysburg Battlefield^[1] in the area of Hood's Assault. The facility was south of Rose Run^[2] on the "light grade" north of the South Confederate Avenue crest.^[3] The Inn had 37 ft (11 m) of frontage on the Emmitsburg Road,^[4] cabins in the rear, and an adjacent service station.^[5]

Constructed during the development era (by 1931)^[6] across from the Battlefield Airport site and subsequently operated by a 1937 corporation,^[7] Temple University leased the Inn for students of the 1942 Civilian Pilot Training program ^[8] in the Gettysburg School of Aeronautics.^[9] From 1943-1945, the Army's War Mapping Unit used the Inn to produce maps for the invasion of Japan.^[10][11]
