Krystal and I visited historic Gettysburg this weekend. We really enjoyed the quaint feel of the town and the wide open spaces. It made me feel like I was in a 19th century landscape. We arrived during a heritage festival weekend, and many people were out and about in downtown Gettysburg dressed in colonial clothing.
The Gettysburg park is full of monuments from the time of the battle. There is tons to explore and learn from this era in our country's history.
As a relatively young country, it is rare to find places that breathe history the way that places in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East do.
Gettysburg is one of the oldest historical sites in our nation, and the people there celebrate this history. Lincoln's face and words are everywhere, as are relics of small town, old fashioned living.
If you haven't been to Gettysburg, it is just a short drive from the District and a relaxed place to visit!
