Event DetailsFriday
We will long remember what they did here... The Story of Gettysburg National Military ParkSpeaker(s): John Heiser, Gettysburg National Park HistorianLocation: Battlefield Holiday Inn Time: 3:00pm - 3:50pm Fought over the first three days of July 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point in the Civil War, the Union victory that ended General Robert E. Lee's second invasion of the North. Often referred to as the "High Water Mark of the Confederacy", it was the bloodiest battle of the war- 51,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, or captured. Since 1933, the National Park Service has cared for Gettysburg National Military Park as a symbol of America's struggle to endure, and as a lasting memorial to the two armies and soldiers who served in that great conflict. John Heiser, Park Historian, will provide a brief overview of the battle, the area's post-battle significance, and why it became a national park. This presentation is intended to provide background so that you may take full advantage of your visit to Gettysburg and see the key locations of the park. Back to Friday schedule
