March 29th - Friday --- David took us to visit Gettysburg. In three fateful days in 1863, 165,000 soldiers met on the Gettysburg Battlefield. More than 51,000 soldiers became casualties as they fought for their beliefs. Because of this battle the tides turned in the Civil War, leading to a Union victory. Here again we watched a movie describing the battles and the drove around the area. There is also a 377 foot painting in-the-round of Pickett's Charge. The Cyclorama painting includes a sound and light program telling the story of Gettysburg.
