🧭 Traveler’s Companion 🎉 2019 - IN REVIEW 🎇

Any serious student of the Civil War knows that a battle and campaign is best studied by walking the ground where the action happened. The lay of the land was fundamental to a battle’s and campaign’s development; understanding the geography is to better understand the action. Many of us went on tour in 2019 and discovered various sites or revisited places they have been to before.

Traveling is all nice and fun, but it’s even better when you can spend time with like-minded people and explore battlefields together. It therefore doesn’t come as a surprise that the 2019 threads most viewed, most liked and/or most replied to all center around the CWT muster(s):
CWT 2019 Gathering. Vicksburg it is.
CWT Invades Vicksburg 2019 Tour - the official thread
CWT Invades Vicksburg 2019 Tour - We Are Live
Next CWT tour
2020 Antietam Fall Muster Announced! October 9th -- 11th
[not in this forum but definitely qualified to being posted: Official Thread CWT Spring Muster "Bloody Shiloh" May 1-3 2020]

Having had the opportunity to meet some of the CWT gang at Vicksburg, I can wholeheartedly recommend coming to one (or all) of these events. The time spent with other Civil War enthusiasts is absolutely worth every dollar and minute.

But even if you only have the opportunity to travel by yourself, with your family or a small group of friends, you can have a great time exploring and later share pictures on CWT as these threads show:
Touring Virginia - On the trails of ANV and AOTP
Yellow Tavern: Stuart's Last Battle
The American Civil War Museum at Appomatox
A visit to Corinth and Shiloh
Sumter to Savannah
Fort Monroe, Old Point Comfort Lighthouse, and Fort Wool (Hampton, Virginia)
The Philippi Covered Bridge
Upcoming trip to Fort Myers,Florida
Greenwood, Mississippi
Andersonville National Historic Site


Here’s to a new year with lots of adventures and pics to share! Wherever your feet take you: Safe travels, everyone, and remember to have fun! :smile:
