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.

On August 20, writer, actor and director Bo Brinkman, founder of the Gettysburg Film Commission, will give listeners an advance look his newest project: “A Gettysburg Christmas 1863,” which will recount the first Christmas after the historic battle.

The new film is a follow-up to his “Gettysburg Christmas” movie filmed in Gettysburg in 2023. Fans of the 1993 film “Gettysburg” will remember Brinkman from his role as Major Walter Taylor.

The talk will be held at the historic G.A.R. Building at 53 E. Middle Street in Gettysburg. All speaker 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.
