Join the American Battlefield Trust in Gettysburg on November 23rd – either in person, or live on your smartphones, tablets or desktops.
This Saturday, we will be joined by special guests to cover Gettysburg's Remembrance Day Parade and associated events. The parade features Confederate and Union reenactors and living historians to commemorate the creation of the Soldiers National Cemetery, where President Abraham Lincoln famously delivered his Gettysburg Address. The parade route matches part of the route of the procession from Gettysburg to the Cemetery, where burials of Gettysburg dead was still in process.
And it’s not just a day for a parade; we have other surprises planned throughout the day that we’ll present live to your device! Tune in to the American Battlefield Trust Facebook Page and YouTube channel for this exclusive Battlefield Live event on this Saturday, November 23, 2019. Make sure you check both as connectivity may vary. We will start around 10:00 a.m. EST, and broadcast intermittently on one channel, the other, or both, throughout the day. Our live coverage of the parade will begin just before 1:00 p.m. EST.
Then, at 4 p.m., join Licensed Battlefield Guide Doug Douds and me in person for Key Moments on Cemetery Ridge—a "battlewalk" conducted in partnership with the Gettysburg National Military Park. This event is free and open to the public. You can find more information about the "battlewalk" here.
See you (virtually) that morning and through the parade or in person on the field at 4 p.m.!
