Washington to Gettysburg Battlefield Tour

Enhance your holiday in Washington and make a daytrip to Gettysburg! Accordingly, we will investigate the most impactful battle during the American Civil War. This is a private tour with a trained military historian. Begin the day with pickup by luxury car at your lodging location. The contemporary Visitor’s Center is an excellent stop where the original cyclorama (1883) of the battlefield and the museum exhibits may be examined. Afterwards, explore the National Military Cemetery where President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. For lunch, I recommend a delicious sandwich at the Gettysburg Baking Company in Lincoln Square. Both have scrumptious treats we can take as snacks out to the battlefield. Each of the three days of battle will be explored in the field including Reynolds Woods, the Virginia Memorial, Pickett’s Charge sites, the Devils Den, Little Round Top, and the Angle. We can customize the experience if you have a particular regiment or battle spot of interest.
