Tour the battlefield either with a guide or the auto tour. Don't miss the High Water Mark, Little Round Top/Devil's Den, or the Eternal Peace Light My friend, Jim, and I watched the sunset from the top of Little Round Top. It was absolutely glorious.
Do not take a ghost tour if you find being yelled at by teenagers offensive. It is literally a past time of local high school kids to yell boo and stupid things. Take this from a past high school student.
As we drove along the back roads and throughout Gettysburg's military park, we came across hillsides filled with Black-eyed Susans. Clusters and clusters of these deep yellow flowers seemed to grow everywhere, creating lovely waves of color.
Finally, I asked Jim to stop the car so I could jump out to photograph these pretty posies. Black-eyed Susans seem to do best in country settings, but some people can grow them in their gardens. I've never had success growing them.
When I see these flowers, I never fail to think of walks we took as children which carried us along an abandoned trolley line, passed farms and apple orchards where Black-eyed Susans cropped up near our path here and there.
Sachs Covered Bridge was built in 1852. The bridge was used by Confederate troops when retreating to Virginia after the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863.
In 1996 floodwaters swept it from its abutments. The County of Adams rehabilitated the bridge by supporting its trusses with steel beams and by raising its elevation three feet.
Located on Marsh Creek on a dead-end park road off Pumping Station Road in Gettysburg. It is closed to cars.
At this location there are things that can be seen that would not be considered off the beaten path, however looks can be deceiving. On my trip last year I went up the tower that is located here and notice that I could see a few monuments back in the woods that were not visible from the road. All that is needed to get to them is take the marked hiking trails. However a word of caution the trails are pretty rough and steep at points.
There were about four monuments hidden back here. One of which was for Ohio, did not get a picture of it because I ran out of batteries.
Located on Slocum Ave., take Confederate Ave. south or Baltimore Pike south both have ways to connect to Slocum Ave.
