We are people too and like anyone else, we like to get out and enjoy the outdoors.
But on occasion, we are forced to celebrate indoors, and when that happens...it must be PRESIDENTS DAY WEEKEND! Gettysburg
has been the home of these field trips for the last few years, but since the host has moved, we will no longer be able to
have this experience on the same day as the party itself. What a great way to enjoy history!!!!
