Gettysburg National Military Park
There are no words to describe what we saw and felt during our time at Gettysburg. It is a very moving place, physically and within our American history. If you have not visited here, you should.
170,000 soldiers fought here over three days in early July 1863- 50,000 casualties- about 8,000 dead, the others injured, captured or missing. There are hundreds upon hundreds of monuments and memoriasl throughout the 20 sq mi park.
Col. Joshua Chamberlain, 20th Maine Militia, led his men “against all hazards” with bayonets on the left flank on day 2 of the battle, changing the course of the battle.
