Participants are advised to wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes for this site visit. Because the site visit involves traversing an open field of grass long pants and sleeves are recommended. Bathroom facilities may not be readily available. A trailing bus or van will be made available for participants unable to walk the full distance.

Dr. Reardon will guide participants on a site visit that includes stops along SW Confederate Avenue at the North Carolina and Virginia monuments before traversing the field across Emmitsburg Road to the “High Water Mark,” the Angle, and other significant sites.

Facilitator: Dr. Carol Reardon, George Winfree Professor of American History Emerita at Penn State University and Adjunct Professor of Civil War Era Studies at Gettysburg College
