I'm going to Gettysburg this weekend for a trip. What places should I make a point to go and see while I'm there?

There are a few nice museums too. There's a fantastic fudge place and next door is the President's Hall - where the 2nd floor shows replicas of all the first lady's ball gowns. It's neat. I used to ride my bike over the battlefield. I grew up about 10 miles away. Have fun!

I saw a story on television about a girl named Jenny Wade. She died by a stray bullet from a sharpshooter while cooking for soldiers although she was supposed to be taking cover in the cellar. I think there is a Jenny Wade House Museum. She is one of only a very few women to ever be honored by Congress or something or other along those lines.......

When I was there I went on a ghost walk, it was a lot of fun.
I find G'burg fascinating, even though I'm not into history and I'm not a tourist. There is just so much history and tradition there, and you can't turn around without tripping over a monument.

Go out to the battlefields and visit Devil's Den. Its an interesting rock formation.

There is a gallery of artwork by a man with the last name of Gallon which is a must see. His work is amazing!
