For a history buff, Gettysburg is without a doubt one of the top destinations in the U.S. Even if the Civil War isn't your thing (which means that there's something wrong with you), Gettysburg has something to offer. But the whole thing can be overwhelming. Especially to a first time visitor. So we're doing something a little different in this episode and offering up some suggestions on what to do with 3 days in Gettysburg. You can go more in depth with each of the sites that we cover via our Gettysburg playlist here: • Gettysburg in Depth

Great tour, JD. You might like to know that I am a casualty of the Battle of Gettysburg ! When I was 11 years old, my parents took me to Gettysburg for the 100th anniversary - in 1963. I was a Civil War buff even at that young age. However, while we were touring the battlefield I developed stomach pains and was taken to the local hospital. I was diagnosed with appendicitis and operated on. My appendix was removed in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. So to this day, I claim that a part of me remained on the battlefield -LOL.

I have toured a number of battlefields, including Gettysburg more than once, and I find it very helpful to read a factual narrative of the battle prior to the actual visit. Then the academic story is understood ahead of time and the actual sites draw practicality to the abstract. After returning home I re-read the narrative and that ties it together by being able to visualize the actual sites while reading reabsorbing the facts and details.

We go 4 to 5 times a year. I’ve seen just about everything but that is incredible! Tim Smith was standing outside the exhibit asking everyone how it was so we had a good conversation with him. It was great!

Was in DC in October last year for work with my brother and coworkers and we decided fairly last minute to visit Gettysburg. Your past content helped a lot with knowing where we wanted to go during just one day. Seminary and taking the tour there along with the Gettysburg Museum of History were two great stops. Toured all the major areas of the battlefield as well. So much more to see but thanks to your excellent content everyone in our group enjoyed it. Was so much more fun than we all expected.

My favorite comment is when you say "don't do it" to relaxation. The BEST advice. The battlefield is absolutely at its best in the first 2 to 3 hours of daylight before crowds appear. Also, if you are busy dining during sunset, you missed something. Gettysburg's east/west orientation provides great sunset views.

Life long PA resident and was raised appreciating and respecting the hallowed ground that is Gettysburg. There's really no experience comparable to it except maybe Pearl Harbor, which I have not been fortunate to see yet. The anniversary every year is always a great time to go, but the crowds can sometimes take away from the reverence, but it's definitely something to do at least once. The 150th a while back when they re-enacted Pickett's Charge was awe inspiring. Thanks for giving this amazing place the exposure it so deserves.

If you get the local Scouts pamphlet to achieve the Gettysburg Patch you will do the Johnny Reb trail 10 miles and the Biily Yank Trail, 11 miles, historic town trail, cemetery and museum. Takes 4 days of walking and you will see almost all the markers with prompts to act out some of the battle. I have never seen any Scouts talk at the end of walking Pickets charge. There are 5 markers for Vermont, one at the angle where they smashed the end of pickets charge. Do the towers and visit Eisenhower place. If you drive this place you will not get 1/4 of what happened

My g,g,grandfather fought for the Confederates and was at Gettysburg. He was in the 6th Alabama regiment, infantry, Co I. He fought on Oak Ridge and Culp's Hill. Sustained a head wound on July 2nd and ended up "in the hands of the enemy ". After treated at field hospital he was sent to Ft. McHenry for remainder of the war. I saved and printed his war record(s) from Fold3. Amazing he survived his injury received on battlefield/hospital, even if not life threating(assuming it wasn't)due to sanitary conditions but also being a prisoner of war. Obviously, he did or I wouldn't be here, lol.

My family visited Gettysburg in 2003. We were on a tight budget but they had a very good self-guided tour that consisted of a CD and map. The CD played in the car while you navigated the battlefield starting over on the Chambersburg Pike where the battle opened and ending on Cemetery Hill. We took 2 days to cover the ground, not wanting to rush or miss anything. It included a fair bit about Culp's hill but it did not encompass Barlow's knoll, which I regret. But the highlight was finding the unit markers for my great-great-great-grandfather's artillery unit on Cemetery Ridge, where they fought on days 2 and 3. We also found the actual after-action reports from his unit in the archives when we visited Kennesaw Mountain, and found his name and unit in the records at Gettysburg. It was a humbling and precious touch-stone to the past, and I will never forget walking the very ground that papa Andrew walked as he fought his gun with his crewmates in the 2nd West Virginia Artillery.

There is so much to see you need to stay awake and moving for 16 hours straight. And also stay near bathrooms and food and drink. You can spend two weeks straight and still not see everything, ghost tours at night are simply amazing. Finding the exact spot where you died and apologizing to those you killed or caused to die is a must; after taps is played at sundown, you better stay fully alert till midnight. Whispers in the night air will make your mind play tricks on you; many died so quickly and are still looking for revenge. They can tell if your a Yankee or a johnny reb as soon as you open your mouth. The vibe in the air is like no other on earth. This is not a place for children 18 and under.

This is an excellent video! Thanks so much for doing this. Thanks also for explaining that the town of Gettysburg itself was a part of the battlefield. As a historian dedicated to preserving and sharing the incredible stories of the local people who experienced the Battle of Gettysburg, not only as soldiers, but as civilians as well, I was very glad to see that you encouraged people to explore the town. In future videos, you may wish to suggest that people take a walking tour of the town of Gettysburg to learn some of these stories. I admit my prejudice since I do living history walking tours of Gettysburg. Thanks also for mentioning the Adams County Historical Society so prominently. Since I am on one of that organization’s committees and chair the History Consortium on behalf of the Adams County Historical Society, I am so happy that you suggested folks visit the wonderful new museum.
