On the
afternoon of the third day of the battle of Gettysburg, Confederate General
Robert E. Lee ordered what became the most famous attack of the Civil War,
known today as Pickett’s Charge.
And almost 156 years later, I
hope you can join us as we explore this monumental event at our upcoming
“Generations” event on April 27th at and in partnership with the Gettysburg
National Military Park.
Share your passion for
history with young people as we learn about what many call the High Water Mark
of the Confederacy. We’ll learn how to march like soldiers of the past, stage a
battle scenario, trace the footsteps of the men in Pickett’s Charge and
discover the assault that ended General Lee’s great invasion of northern
territory. Most kids will even get to don Civil War hats or coats!
This event is free and open
to all who brings someone under 20 with them but is geared towards youth aged
6-16. We invite you to bring your kids, grand-kids, neighbors, and friends to
join us. If you have never attended a Generations event before, you're in for
an awesome experience.
The event begins at 9:45 am
and registration is required.
