--Gettysburg--
Each Summer historians,
reenactors, and visitors alike will descend upon the small
Pennsylvania town to both honor this important point in American
history, and hopefully learn about why this was such an important
part of our history. I believe this is a destination all Americans
must experience. Fought from July 1 – July 3, 1863, the battle is
considered to be the turning point of The Civil War.
Personally, Gettysburg rivals
Walt Disney World as my favorite place to visit, obviously for
different reasons. While Disney World is an escape, Gettysburg
brings history and reality to the visitor.
I have several suggestions that will make your visit more enjoyable.
1.) Try to stay at a hotel at the southern end of town. This will
allow you to be walking distance from restaurants, shops, and a part
of the battlefield.
2.) Hire a Battlefield Guide. They are very knowledgeable (must pass
a test,) and will tailor the tour to your knowledge of the battle.
3.) Inquire if there are any encampments on the weekend (normal
May-September.) It is a great opportunity to talk to re-enactors and
see an authentic camp and drills.
4.) Even if you happen to see re-enactors outside of an encampment,
don’t be afraid to approach them with any questions you may have.
Almost all of us are pleased to pass on whatever knowledge we may
have of The Civil War.
There are many other destinations close to Gettysburg that can
supplement your vacation. Hershey Park, Lancaster, Harpers Ferry,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C., are all within an hour
or two drive away.
