A Drive Through Gettysburg

If you are into history and you love learning about the Civil War then you need to take a trip through Gettysburg. I had the privilege of growing up in the area and was able to spend many weekends in the Gettysburg National Park, driving around and looking at the history that is so predominant in that area. I also spent a lot of time looking at the wildlife that was around, and since they were protected by the government they were there in large numbers. I can remember seeing herds of deer out in the open fields that just stayed there and let you look at them for a long time, they simply weren't afraid. Here is the route that I took through Gettysburg and what it is that I got to see.

Coming from the area of Waynesboro you enter Gettysburg and go to the top of a hill. A light at the top of the hill is your signal to turn right and enter the park. Along the first stretch of road there are several privately owned buildings as well as some farm land but soon you will Begin to see the guns. The rows of cannons sit on the open fields looking for, now silent, but still bring visions of smoke and the war in mind. After that I have this part of the journey you will come to an observation tower. If you're brave enough to climb stairs to get a view from the park.

Next to go to the street you arrive, the areas of Little Round Top and large round tip. You'll also be able to look down upon the little valley andas well as Devil's Den. E 'was great for this group of rocks, shots fired over large round tip and sniper was returned. Take time to read the license plates on Big Round Top, are very interesting.

The road then goes down past Devil's Den and eventually find their way to the Monument and Pennsylvania is in the range of the objectives of Pickett's Charge. This is an interesting part of the disc, and is close to some museums in Nice, where you can learn more about the area. L 'road finally empties out into civilization again and if you take right you will find yourself going right into the Gettysburg Square. There are a lot of places to eat along the way. I hope that you enjoy your visit to Gettysburg and that you took my old route past all the history.
