Special Events at the 136th Annual National Encampment August 2022
On Thursday, August 11th at 7 pm join the Margaret M. Orr LGAR Circle from Ohio in front of the Presbyterian Church as they unveil a new bench with a plaque dedicated to the LGAR.
The National Patriotic Instructor will conclude with her patriotic lesson, and following the ceremony all guests are invited to the G.A.R. Hall on Middle St for refreshments.
This G.A.R. Hall building was originally a church and in 1867 Gettysburg Civil War Veterans organized the local post, Corporal Johnston H Skelly Post #9. Now owned by the Historic Gettysburg Adams County Inc./Historic Preservation Society, this G.A.R. Hall has been fully restored.
Friday, August 12th at 7 pm don’t miss out on attending our Night at the Museum when local living historians come alive to tell their stories of Gettysburg. Enjoy having the Heritage Museum to ourselves, and partake in the appetizer table with a glass of wine, all while we raise funds for Veteran Suicide Prevention. This is a rare opportunity to raise funds and have fun for the evening. Pre-Registration Requested.
Saturday, August 13th at 11 am plan to attend our National Memorial Service at Sach’s Covered Bridge on the battlefield. Built in 1852, the historic covered bridge was used by both Union and Confederate Troops during the battle. It is located off Pumping Station Road crossing over Marsh Creek. In 1938 the bridge was designated Pennsylvania’s most historic bridge by the Dept of Highways. This year our Memorial Service will include memorials from an original G.A.R. Memorial service from the late 1880’s.
If you’ve never been to Gettysburg before and are planning your trip, you want to be sure to make the Visitors Center your first stop. From there you can take a self guided tour of the battlefield or arrange for a licensed tour guide.
However, if you know you have a Civil War Ancestor that fought at Gettysburg secure your private tour to see where your ancestor fought, and learn the history of his unit’s involvement at the battle of Gettysburg.
