Winter Lecture Series and other programs, GNMP 2016

[pamc153PA]

For those of you who are interested in visiting the park at Gettysburg during the election winter months it don't want to freeze your toes off in the snow, maybe a lecture by one of the illustrious park service folks, or a book discussion, would be a nice change. Here is the list of the lectures and other winter 2016 programs, all of them at the Visitors Center.

I have attended a number of the Winter Lecture Series lectures over the years, and they are usually informative and well-presented, on topics usually a little off the beaten path, so to speak. I know that others here (like @cash) have attended them, too. If you're out in the Gettysburg area looking for something to do to beat the winter doldrums, try one!

This year they are also conducting a book discussion on Saturdays. The first book is Tony Horowitz's Confederates in the Attic. They'll discuss Chapters 1-5 on January 9. Matt Atkinson will deliver the lecture that day on Jubal Early and Confederate Memory.

I'm planning to go to Matt's lecture. I like the idea of the book discussions, too. Did they do that in the past?

This is the first year they've done it at least since I've been in the area.

Great to see Scott Hartwig has a program on Jan 31st. I will try to make that one in particular.
