Gettysburg

On our way from Rochester to DC, Stephen and I drove through Gettysburg, PA and decided to stop and soak in some history. The battle of Gettysburg was fought from July 1-3, 1863. It is referred to as the turning point of the war when Robert E Lee and the confederates were defeated. This battle had the highest casualty count of the Civil War with a total of about 51,000 killed. We went first to the museum of Gettysburg and then drove out to the fields and walked around where the actual battle was fought.
