We are excited to announce our fall Civil War History conference!
We will be based in Chambersburg, PA for this great conference focused on visiting unique sites, exploring off-the-beaten path incidents and discovering human interest aspects that are rarely included in standard tours about the Battle of Gettysburg.
The first day of touring will include a detailed town tour of Gettysburg led by Brad Gottfried, extensive tour of Evergreen Cemetery by Deb Novotny and an exclusive tour of The Lost Avenue with the legendary Dean Shultz. A trip to Gettysburg would also not be complete without dinner at the Dobbin House Tavern!
Fridays talks will be given by the following expert historians: Brad Gottfried, Dr. Chris Keller, Scott Mingus and Wayne Motts. We will also have our book vendor, Jim Schmick with Civil War & More on site for three days of the conference!
Our third day will be an exciting tour beyond Gettysburg as we follow Maj. Gen. Jubal Early's Expedition to the Susquehanna River led by Scott Mingus. This will include a visit to Zion Hill Cemetery (Black defenders of Wrightsville / 54th & 55th MA)
The final day of our tour will be an early morning tour with Dean Shultz taking us to the Fairfield Cavalry Action site and then a visit to Adams County Historical Society's Beyond the Battle Museum. There, we will have a special talk by Timothy H. Smith, "Debris of Battle" including handling original Civil War artifacts. You'll then tour the museum before heading back to Chambersburg.
