Gettysburg, PA

We spent 1 1/2 days at Gettyburg National Military Park.  The battle of Gettysburg took place July 1, 2, 3, 1863.  This was a major battle of the Civil War.  A very bloody battle that took many lives.  The visitors center and museum were very informative.  There were 3 ideals that were in play that lead up to the war.  The country was on the brink of splitting apart, would slavery be abolished or embraced and who are we as Americans.  It seemed as though we were walking on hallowed ground.  It was an emotional experience.

There are still lots of rock fences.  We rented a CD and went on a driving tour of the battlefield.  It was suggested to allow 3 hours.  It took us about 6 hours.  Much to learn and take in.

Can you hide behind a rock?

Hole in the barn from a cannon.

It seems so peaceful now
