Are you interested in the Civil War history of the United States?
One of the main reasons for planning our extended trip was to explore some of the national park sites
that we have yet to see. With Gettysburg being only an hour away from Harpers Ferry, it was the perfect
addition to our itinerary.
After spending a good part of the day in Gettysburg, we can honestly say that it is tough to see all that
there is in just one day. We started by watching a film narrated by Morgan Freeman followed by the
amazing cyclorama (a precursor to films) created in 1884. Next, we spent a couple of hours trying to get
an overview of the museum.
Once we started out on a self-guided driving tour of the battlefield, we realized that we hadn't allotted
nearly enough time! Plus, we really didn't want to spend too much time hiking and climbing since we are
still trying to get Scott's knee back to full working order!
