You're invited to the Trust’s Gettysburg 158th anniversary video extravaganza this July 1-3! This year with a twist: a focus on the soldiers who fought in the battle.
Experience numerous facets of American history at the 158th Battle of Gettysburg anniversary commemoration through the eyes of the soldiers and in their footsteps with the American Battlefield Trust and Ancestry/Fold3.
We will be online through all three days of the anniversary to help you share—virtually—in this meaningful event! Please, let me explain with this quick video...
Join us on Facebook and Youtube from the battlefield through a proliferation of videos, short and long with special guests from the Gettysburg Foundation, the Adams County Historical Society, and, of course, the Gettysburg National Military Park.
Ancestry is working hard to unearth little-known Gettysburg stories and a good friend is planning to show identified artifacts from the battle that are in some cases returning to the battlefield place for the first time since the battle!
Whether you are a Gettysburg novice or a full-on Civil War nerd, expect to learn some new things, and see places both familiar and off the beaten path. We promise you plenty of cool experiences, great energy, and lots of solid history!
Sincerely
Garry Adelman
Chief Historian
American Battlefield Trust
