It's HISTORY!

Gettysburg is a HISTORIC battlefield from the Civil War...a place where brother fought against brother in an epic battle for the soul of a fledgling nation, and where now the whole town lives off tourists. And where the visitor center looks like it hasn't been updated since the Eisenhower administration.


The Gettysburg cemetery is where President Lincoln gave his HISTORIC speech that the world has little noted, and long forgotten...as we all know.


The battlefields of Gettysburg are positively littered with giant monuments from every single battalion and state that might have had even a single soldier there. I mean, there are literally hundreds of them. But I managed to find a lovely view that was monument-free. This is a battlefield and a barn that played a HISTORIC role in the battle.
