October 17's tour is in conjunction with our adopt a position clean up. Meet at the North Carolina monument and follow the path of North Carolina troops as they marched over the smoldering ruins of the Bliss Farm. At the Bliss Farm we will pause to see the ruins and talk about what happened there on July 2 and 3. Then, we’ll make our way to one of our adopted positions, that of the 111th NY and hear what they did during the battle of Gettysburg. Then we’ll see what the Park Service needs help with and get our hands dirty doing some light yard work. Be sure to stick around for our traditional wet-plate group photo taken at the monument by Dave Wilson from Victorian Photography Studios on Steinwehr Ave. But the day isn’t over yet. Take a few hours break and meet up with us at Mason Dixon Distillery for lunch and mingling. (You’re responsible for your own food and drink once we get to the distillery.)
