Living Histories: Squabbler’s Mess (non-firing), 53rd Pennsylvania Infantry, & 2nd Battalion Army of Northern Virginia

From the roar of artillery to the flash of bayonets, living history demonstrations at Gettysburg National Military Park help bring the past to life. On select days, Civil War living historians encamp on the Gettysburg battlefield. Explore their camps, interact with these knowledgeable historians, and witness as they demonstrate the tools, tactics, and firepower of the two armies that waged war across these now hallowed fields.
