Friday, September 26 – 7:00 PM
Twilight of the Blue & Gray: The Last Reunion of Surviving Civil War Veterans at Gettysburg – Ranger Christopher Gwinn

Eighty-five summers after musket fire echoed over Gettysburg, the final living veterans of the Civil War returned—not as foes, but as old men. In July 1938, over 1,800 Union and Confederate veterans gathered here one last time, their memories bridging the gap of war and time. Join Ranger Gwinn around the campfire as we explore the stories, symbolism, and legacy of this extraordinary reunion—where memory, reconciliation, and the twilight of a generation converged.

Programs take place at the Pitzer Woods Amphitheater, near Auto Tour Stop #6.

Bench seating is available, visitors are welcome to bring their own chairs if preferred. Appropriate seasonal clothing and insect spray recommended. Both the amphitheater area and parking lot can be very dark, flashlights also recommended.

Schedule subject to change without notice.
