Each month in York County, Pa., three free history presentations offered
Visitors to the new Gettysburg National Military Park visitors center are presented with the opportunity to examine all kinds of Civil War exhibits. But Civil War enthusiasts don’t have to go to Gettysburg to learn about the Civil War. York countians can receive their lessons at home. Background posts: New Lincoln blog category introduced to honor Abe’s 200th birthday and Abe Lincoln stopped at Hanover station:”We want to preserve history … so it doesn’t disappear’ and York educator plays Abe’s friend: ‘This definitely was a cool thing’.
Dr. Charles C. Fennell, Jr., will present on the “Confederate Disaster on Oak Ridge: The Demise of Brig. Gen. Alfred Iverson’s Brigade on July 1, 1863 at Gettysburg” Wednesday in York.
The licensed Gettysburg battlefield guide will address a meeting of the York (Pa.) Civil War Roundtable.
