Online Lecture: Gettysburg, Pennsylvania — Nothing Like It in the World

Gettysburg is more than a small town touched by war — it’s a place of resilience, innovation and rich history. Join Dr. Brad Gottfried, a Gettysburg Licensed Town Guide and author of 22 Civil War books, for a fast-paced look at the town’s founding, African American heritage, tavern tales, surviving the battle, presidential visits, Lincoln’s speech, Eisenhower’s home and more.

Your online lecture will take place live over the course of 1-2 hours. All times are listed in the EASTERN time zone. If you live in a different time zone, please adjust your schedule accordingly. This live online experience uses Zoom Webinar, an easy-to-use web video service that includes closed captioning. All you need is an Internet connection and your computer. You will receive a confirmation email when you enroll, and a reminder email one week and one day before, as well as the morning of the event with a link and instructions on how to tune in. You will not be pictured on screen during the lecture, but you will have the opportunity to ask the instructor live questions using the Q&A box. Unless otherwise noted, all those who enroll in this program receive access to the live event as well as a recording of the lecture that you can watch any time within the two weeks following the live event.
