AZ Abn Posted April 7, 2015 Share #5 Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks for the photos. Always a sobering experience. When I was in Carlisle, PA at the War College, whenever family and friends came I took them to Gettysburg. I bought the CD to conduct the drive around tour. I really liked the musem, especially the display of a section of wood fence from pickett's charge field which has multiple mini balls in it, so you can get an idea of the volume of fire. Lots of Death in a very small place. AZ Abn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy.502 Posted April 13, 2015 Share #6 Posted April 13, 2015 When I went Gettysburg last year we came across one of the many battlefield museums. At first I just thought it would be as small civil war thing . It was run by a Korean war vet(bit grumpy) anyway he has the most amazing collection of mannequins and kit all very rare from us airborne to nazi generals, crazy!!!! He said he bought it all in the 60s when it was cheap. He has a whole warehouse out back as well full of the 'war surplus'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarbridge Posted April 22, 2015 Share #9 Posted April 22, 2015 I've been to Gettysburg 20 times or so...anytime I was road dogging and in the area...I think it's a place all Americans should make the pilgrimage. ..my family starting going there in 1863... Everyone has hit George's shop at one time or another. ..a dear crumgeon of a fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted April 22, 2015 Share #10 Posted April 22, 2015 I went to Gettysburg College & took Air Force ROTC. Spent many hours with George waiting for people to bring things in. Sold him a ton as well. Wrote several papers on the battle and spent many dark nights alone on Culps Hill, Devil's Den and the Angle getting in the "mood" to write. Dated a girl who owns a bar there and that was fun. Gettysburg is part of my DNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost1987 Posted April 2, 2016 Share #18 Posted April 2, 2016 I have been here twice ( I am a West Coaster ) and once we had paid a guide the other was with one of those tapes. I am sure some guides might be better than others--but the one we had was fabulous and if I was to give any advice--If you have the time and a few bucks pay a guide--I doubt you will regret it.
