Gettysburg 150th Anniversary Events Guide From The National Park Service (71 Pages)

and
locations on the battlefield
It took just four days in 1863 to etch Gettysburg into our national lexicon forever. From July 1 to 3, a Union victory in the largest battle ever fought in North America helped turn the tide of the American Civil War. One November morning four months later, President Abraham Lincoln dedicated the Soldiers National Cemetery with his immortal Address. In just about two minutes time, our 16th President ushered in a new birth of freedom, proclaiming Gettysburg as a touchstone of our national history. This year, the Gettysburg Foundation and Gettysburg National Military Park are commemorating the 150th anniversary of this epic battle and unforgettable speech with historic events that will touch millions of individuals throughout the country and the world. This Commemorative Events Guide will lead you through the various events and programs that are guaranteed to educate and inspire. From ranger programs and battle walks to book signings and receptions, there is something for all ages and levels of interest. In addition to the commemorative events, it is the Foundations goal to use this 150th commemoration as a time to re-dedicate Gettysburg to future generations by raising critical funds and awareness. The Gettysburg Foundation, in partnership with Gettysburg National Military Park, is helping to build a future where the stories and sacrifices of Gettysburg are not only known, but cherished and passed on for the next 150 years and beyond.
We invite people from all walks of life to join us to support initiatives that will positively impact the landscape and the visitor experience at Gettysburg now and well into the future, thereby continuing the traditional legacy of good stewardship at Gettysburg. To accomplish this goal, the Foundation is embarking on a five-year effort to build support in three critical areas: preservation, acquisition and education. Without the preservation and acquisition of historic land and artifacts, like the George Spangler Farm and the priceless possessions of soldiers and civilians, the story of Gettysburg will be lost and the lessons soon forgotten. Through educational programming and outreach, we can teach the timeless meaning of individual sacrifice and teamwork, first shown here in 1863. These three critical areas will sustain not only the battlefield but also the message of selflessness, ideals and reconciliation that can be found on the fields of Gettysburg. Gettysburg belongs to all of us, and its capacity to captivate our collective imagination and define and inspire our national character endures. Those who return to Gettysburg often tell us they learn something different each visitand we wouldnt have it any other way. Whether its your first visit or your fifth, whether you are a new or veteran student of Gettysburg and the Civil War, the Gettysburg Foundation and Gettysburg National Military Park remain committed to providing novel opportunities to learn, ever-expanding museum collections to examine and newly preserved sacred ground to explore. Thank you for joining us for this milestone in our nations history. We hope you participate in the special experiences we have planned for you throughout this nine-day guide and continue to support Gettysburg and its legacy for years to come.

5 Ways To Be Well-Prepared for Your Visit to Gettysburg
Apply sunscreen generously and repeatedly throughout the day even if it is overcast. Most ranger programs are outside and last between 30 minutes and two hours.
Follow Gettysburg National Military Park on Facebook and Twitter for important updates. Also, download a QR code reader for enhanced information to assist during your visit.
Come prepared with water, preferably refillable water bottles. Drinking fountains are available at the Museum and Visitor Center and at selected sites on the battlefield.
Please help to care for this hallowed ground. Do not climb or sit on the monuments, markers, wayside exhibits, stone walls, cannons or limbers. When parking along oneway avenues, leave all four wheels on the pavement. No parking on two-way avenues. Pets are not allowed inside the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center or in the Soldiers National Cemetery. Service dogs are welcome. Leashed pets are allowed on the battlefield except on or in monuments and towers. Pets must be attended at all times. Do not leave animals unattended in vehicles even just for a few minutes, as interior temperatures rise quickly. Please secure your vehicles and stow any valuables.
Wear comfortable footwear designed for uneven terrain and for hiking long distances.
Reduce your chances of getting a tick-borne disease by using repellents, checking for ticks, and showering after being outdoors. If you have a tick bite followed by a fever or rash, seek medical attention.
Cell Phone
Carry a cell phone to contact 911 in case of emergency. Also, upon arrival at the park, select a meeting place in case you or your family become separated.
Follow Gettysburg National Military Park on Facebook and Twitter to get breaking news and updates about events, parking, shuttles and more.

National Park Service Ranger Programs- Free Join rangers for 30-minute programs that provide a brief overview of the events that occurred in a specific location on that day of the battle. Minimal walking. Station 1 Soldiers National Cemetery: The Dead In the months following the battle, this cemetery was established as the final resting place for 3,556 Union soldiers who lost their lives in the battle. On November 19, 1863, President Lincoln helped dedicate this hallowed ground with his Gettysburg Address. Station 2 The George Spangler Farm: the Wounded This farm served as the 11th Corps field hospital, treating over 1,600 wounded Union and Confederate soldiers during and after the battle. See page 66 for more information. Station 3 The Brian Farm: the Civilians Civilians were more than innocent bystanders of the battle. They helped house and care for the wounded and bury the dead, and struggled to rebuild and restore normalcy to their lives following the greatest battle ever fought in North America. Station 4 Meades Headquarters: the Prisoners Nearly 17,000 men became prisoners of war during the battle. This is the story of their experience from the battlefield to prison camp. Location: Inside the Taneytown Road entrance to the Soldiers National Cemetery, Auto Stop #16 Times: 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m., 4 p.m. and 5 p.m.

he complete preservation of the Spangler Farm will provide the opportunity for historic interpretation and ensure the 1,900 men who were treated on the property did not suffer in vain. While the Gettysburg Foundation, the non-profit partner of Gettysburg National Military Park, has begun making great strides in the rehabilitation of the Spangler Farm property and structures to its
1863 appearance, there is still much work to be done. Through the help of generous donors and supporters, like you, the Spangler Farm can eventually be rehabilitated and teach the untold stories of the farm. If youd like to help protect the stories and legacy of the George Spangler Farm, please visit our website, www.gettysburgfoundation.org or contact the Foundations development office at (717) 339-2150.

too much for human endurance...
Battle of Gett ysburg Field Hospital Site
he George Spangler Farm is one of the best surviving examples of a farm used as a corps field hospital during and after the battle of Gettysburg, with several original buildings still standing. Through the use of letters, diaries, and personal
accounts, visitors will meet some of the people treating or being treated, will learn about how they personally coped with the traumatic experience of battle and its aftermath, and how they worked together to recover and rebuild.
he Rupp House History Center, established in 2002, is located at 451 Baltimore Street and is the in-town presence for the Gettysburg Foundation and a gathering place for Friends of Gettysburg members. During the Battle, the Rupp House was home to John and Caroline Rupp and their six children. When the fighting began on July 1, Caroline and the children fled, but John stayed behind.
He spent the next two frightful nights in his cellar, hiding from the bullets that were passing through his home. (In fact, when you visit the Rupp House History Center today, you can see John Rupp hiding out in his cellar!) Open to the public free of charge, the house features interactive exhibits and events throughout the season and also is the go-to place to purchase the latest Friends of Gettysburg merchandise!
