Autumn in Gettysburg
Fall is known as the best time to see the Gettysburg Battlefield to study the Civil War.
Why? Because the leaves are beautiful in October and in November, when the leaves fall off the trees, you can get an unobstructed view of the fields of battle.
Remembrance day is November 19 (also known as dedication day)
This is when Abraham Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address, dedicating the cemetery where the Union casualties were buried after the Battle of Gettysburg. . This event is reenacted in the Soldier’s National Cemetery.
