Dedication Day

Dedication Day

On November 19th, we pay homage to the dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery, now known as the Gettysburg National Cemetery, an annual event in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, steeped in historical significance. 

At the heart of Dedication Day is President Abraham Lincoln’s immortal Gettysburg Address, delivered amidst the hallowed grounds where 3,500 Union soldiers lay in rest. This brief yet profound speech, given four and a half months after the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg, stands as a beacon of unity and remembrance for a nation torn asunder by civil strife.

The commemoration promises an enriching experience for all attendees.

Join us on Dedication Day as we come together to honor the past, celebrate the present, and inspire the future.
