7/2/2016 - We traveled to Gettysburg, PA today. I believe that the best way to learn is to immerse yourself in knowledge in an authentic setting. Gettysburg is definitely the place to do just that if you want to learn about the Civil War. Although my brain was full from my week at the Library of Congress institute, I made room for more. I was certainly not disappointed in this memorable visit. We decided to take the bus tour so that we could hear from an interpretative guide. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the monuments at Gettysburg that he wrote a book. I have many photos but I am only sharing a few here. My institute activity plan is based on the Civil War, so my visit was timely, authentic and informative.
