I'm confused as well. Unless Eric is getting us set for a guided tour, the park is free.
I've just confirmed as much through the NPS website for G'burg. What are you planning Mr Shea? If you are getting a liscenced tour guide, let me know. I know several of them. Another thing to consider... The NPS site is a SMALL portion of the battlefield. You will start seeing historic markers for hospitals and g'burg skirmeshes even around our lunch stop in Abbotstown. By the time we cross rt 15 (still a few miles from the park) we will be in the "thick of it". You can't see it all in an hour. The driving tour is considered a 2 hour drive, and that skips cemetery hill, Barlow and some other sites that add an extra hour. If you want to see the town, museums, visitors center, cyclorama (and it can be worth seeing) you can quickly consume a whole weekend. I have spent a lot of time in the Burg, and have friends that work there. Give me some boundaries and I can set up a good, self guided and free tour. I'm planning of taking my kids there maybe next weekend. I can do some scouting if you let me know what you want to see. Zach |
