Fall into History – Sunday Morning Battlewalk

Plan your fall trip to Gettysburg to join us for these special events that are free and open to the public:

Sunday, September 28 – 10:00 AM
Pickett’s Charge: Supervisory Ranger Angie Atkinson
Meet at the Virginia Memorial, Auto Tour Stop 5, West Confederate Avenue

On the afternoon of July 3, 1863, nearly 12,000 Confederate soldiers stepped off into open fields under blistering fire, advancing toward the heart of the Union line. Known as “Pickett’s Charge,” this bold and bloody assault marked the climactic moment of the Battle of Gettysburg—and a turning point of the Civil War. Join Ranger Atkinson for a walking journey across the ground where history teetered on the edge.

These 2-hour intensive programs examine unique portions of the battlefield, cover significant distances, and cross rough/uneven terrain. It is strongly recommended that visitors bring plenty of water, appropriate seasonal clothing, and sturdy hiking shoes. Please park vehicles with all four wheels on the pavement. Programs may start and end at different locations.

Schedule subject to change without notice.
