HGAC 50th Anniversary Educational Speakers Series

Historic Gettysburg Adams County continues its year-long celebration of its 50th anniversary with a special series of four speakers beginning in July. As always, HGAC’s Educational Speakers series is free and open to the public.

Meet Thaddeus Stevens, the greatest unknown person in American history! On Wednesday August 6, The Great Commoner (in the person of Ross Hetrick) will regale listeners with tales of his personal history.

Ross Hetrick is the president of the Thaddeus Stevens Society and the founder of Thad’s Place, the first stand-alone museum dedicated to Stevens, which opened in Gettysburg last year.

All sessions will be held at the historic G.A.R. Building at 53 E. Middle Street in Gettysburg. All sessions are on a Wednesday. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the presentations will start at 7 p.m. No reservations are needed, and the hall is handicapped accessible.
