The National Cemetery was dedicated after the battle with a few “appropriate remarks” delivered by President Lincoln. Since instruction is not permitted inside the cemetery, Dr. Reardon will convene the group in an appropriate area nearby and then encourage participants to walk the grounds themselves.

Participants are advised to wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes for this site visit. Bathroom facilities may not be readily available. A trailing bus or van will be made available for participants unable to walk the full distance.
