8/3/15 - Gettysburg, PA

We drove to Gettysburg, PA today.  We found a Passport American RV park 1 mile from the entrance to the Gettysburg National Battlefield.  We drove to the visitors center and bought tickets to go to Eisenhower’s farm and house for 9 am tomorrow morning.  This park does not honor the Federal Golden Age pass.  Everything you do here you have to pay for.  We had a little time before the closing of others destinations in the park so the first stop was at the Gettysburg Lincoln Train Station.  This is where Abraham Lincoln came to give his Gettysburg Address at the National Cemetery.  Next was a stop at the David Wills house.  This is where Lincoln spent the night while in Gettysburg.  Then we drove to the Soldiers National Cemetery.  Just as we arrived a tour was starting in a few minutes.  We took the 45 minute tour of the cemetery.
