The Motor Head Tour

8:00 AM Saturday

World War II Museum (Outside)

 The Museum has a large collection of equipment from the War -- tanks, trucks, jeeps, etc. -- and has agreed to give us a guided "tour" of the gear. Each piece of equipment comes with a story, and the Museum docents are more than happy to talk about those histories. Please join us for a fun, unusual discussion of all that the Museum has to offer. Dogs are welcomed to this talk.

Battlefield Walk

8:00 AM Friday

Hancock Avenue 

"The angel of death alone can produce such a field as was presented."

Many Gettysburg Battlefield Tours culminate at the Angle with a discussion of the repulse of Pickett's Charge. Few take much time to learn about the intense fighting just north of the Angle, where Pettigrew's Confederate Division, with the backing of two more brigades under General Isaac Trimble, struck the position held by Brigadier General Alexander Hays' Third Division of the 2d Corps. Hays' Division had marched to Gettysburg with 3,644 officers and men, but by July 3, more than 700 had been sent to repel an attack on East Cemetery Hill, and serious casualties on July 2 had further reduced the number of available effectives, including the loss of one of the commanders of the remaining two brigades. This walk will reveal the stories of the soldiers who valiantly defended this less-talked-about part of the Union line.

You can park in the paved lot just off Taneytown Road (near the Cemetery) or use the grass parking lot on the east side of Taneytown Road.  

We will start at the Delaware State Monument, which is near the parking lot. From there, we will walk along the paved road to the north end of Hancock Avenue. There are several monuments in that area, many of which are seldom visited, but do have interesting vignettes behind them. The group will then proceed southward along Hancock Avenue and discuss the myriad monuments and events that occurred in the area, probably ending at the Angle, the climax of Pickett's Charge.
