We've gone back a good number of times including reenactments, and it's always special anytime of the year.<br />While my son wasn't impressed my daughter has been when we've gone. We want them to know that their GGG grandfather on their mother's side fought in the 116th Penn.(Irish Brigade) and lost an arm there. Last Aug we stayed in the renovated Hotel where President Lincoln stayed in 1863. Nice.Scott B.

It's only about 2 to 2 and a half hours from where I live! I'm getting in the historical mood too, I haven't visited a historical site since the summer.

I get that same feeling when finding papers that were written by or signed by my ancestors--a strange sense of connecting.<br /><br />Really appreciated your comments on "The Facebook Effect." Good point. But you needn't feel compelled to add disclaimers to everything you do. Life is a process. If all the good stories had to stop and insert "went to bathroom here" there would BE no good stories!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-78909972189217376122012-01-12T23:36:30.006-05:002012-01-12T23:36:30.006-05:00Rain or shine, lost or slip-in-the-mud, I'll t...Rain or shine, lost or slip-in-the-mud, I'll take Gettysburg everytime!!<br />Have you ever taken the town tour?
