Gettysburg PA

Have you been to Gettysburg PA? It’s a somewhat small town just over the border from Maryland and about an hour and half from Washington DC. Well, it’s a small town until the Fourth of July weekend rolls around every year! That’s when the town has the Battle of Gettysburg reenactment.

The battle of Gettysburg took place July 1-3 1863. In 2013, the town celebrated the 150th commemorative anniversary of the battle and Mr. RCGG and I went to see the reenactment. We loved seeing all the monuments on the actual battlefields and then seeing the reenactment on a near by farm.

This is the monument to honor the men of the 20th Maine. This is probably the most well known of the battle of Gettysburg aside from Pickett’s Charge.
