Folks, it appears that I will be leading a two day tour of sites associated with the retreat from Gettysburg on August 28 and 29. The following are the itineraries of stops:
Saturday, August 28;
1. Seminary Ridge
2. Granite Hill
3. Fountaindale
4. Monterey Pass Museum and battlefield park
5. Smithsburg, MD
6. Hagerstown
7. Funkstown
8. Boonsboro
9. Devil's Backbone County Park
10. St. James School in Williamsport
11. Daniel Donnelly House
12. Falling Waters
13. Cushwa Basin, Williamsport
14. Return to Gettysburg
IF time permits, we may go to Bunker Hill, WV to see where Brig. Gen. J. Johnston Pettigrew died. It's not likely, but it is possible, so I thought I had better mention it.
Sunday, August 29:
1. Seminary Ridge
2. Caledonia Furnace
3. Greencastle
4. Cearfoss, MD (Cunningham's Crossroads)
5. Cushwa Basin
6. Return to Gettysburg
The Saturday tour, which covers the 22 engagements during the retreat, is a full day and covers about 120 miles roundtrip. Lunch will be provided on this bus tour. The Sunday tour is also a bus tour, but only half a day. We will be back in Gettysburg by noon on Sunday.
THESE ARE NOT FREE TOURS. THERE WILL BE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. THE COST WILL BE PROVIDED AS SOON AS WE HEAR BACK FROM THE BUS COMPANY. CARS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO "TAG ALONG" DUE TO THE DISTANCE TRAVELED AND THE ROUTE REQUIRED.
If you have an interest in attending, please send me a PM. Thank you.
