Our history lesson today was of the Civil War Battle at Gettysburg. We certainly learned more of the events of July 1, 2, and 3, 1863, by actually taking the self guided audio tour through the battlefields than we probably learned in school. We stopped at monuments and memorials along the way to take pictures and hear ranger talks on the events that took place at many locations. We stood on the grounds where more men fell than in any other battle fought in North America before or since.
We visited the Gettysburg Diorama, a scale model of the Battle of Gettysburg. It is the largest military diorama in the United States at over 800 square feet of display.
It was a great day and a wonderful experience, but we were all pretty exhausted and ready for burgers and dogs on the grill at the end of the day.
