Historic Gettysburg Walk

The Physical Fitness Task Force of Healthy Adams County hosts the Historic Gettysburg Walk on Wednesday, June 10 at 1:00 p.m.

Participants take part in a guided two-mile walk beginning at the Gettysburg Rec Park and traveling along the west side of historic Gettysburg. Along the route, the group stops at the home of Sallie Myers, located next to St. Francis Xavier Church on High Street.

Anne Gageby, Director of Education at Strawberry Hill Nature Center and a member of the Healthy Adams County Physical Fitness Task Force, shares stories of her great-great-great grandmother’s life in Gettysburg during and after the Civil War. These family stories have been passed down through generations and provide a personal perspective on civilian life in the community during a pivotal period in American history.
