We are very lucky to live in Pennsylvania. Our state is rich with American history!
If you've never visited Gettysburg, I encourage you to check it out!
The Battle of Gettysburg took place from July 1-3, 1863. It was the turning point of the American Civil War, in which Union Major General George Meade's Army of the Potomac defeated Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. More American lives were lost at Gettysburg than during any other Civil War battle.
Gettysburg is located about 40 miles south of Harrisburg, near the Maryland border. There are many ways to see the battlefield. You may take a guided tour, or just explore on your own. There are bus tours available, but you may also drive around the battlefield. You may also choose to see it by bicycle or on horseback.
