Guns of Gettysburg on Display at GNMP
Visitors to Gettysburg National Military Park will have a rare opportunity to touch a piece of American history on Presidents' Day, Monday, February 18. Original weapons used in the Civil War will be on display in the lobby of the Visitor Center from 10AM to 4PM.
The exhibit will display the most common weapons used in the Battle of Gettysburg, including muskets, rifles, rifle-muskets, carbines, revolvers, swords and sabres. Unlike most museum exhibits, however, this display will allow close examination of the artifacts and even light handling by visitors.
This special exhibit is part of the educational outreach programming of the Civil War Dance Foundation. In addition to conducting Civil War balls, dance demonstrations and classes, the CWDF also presents military and civilian artifact displays and lectures on a variety of Civil War topics.
