Gettysburg, PA is the culmination point and decisive point of the American Civil War. From the early skirmishes between the Union Cavalry and the arriving Confederate forces, through the defeated Pickett's Charge, and the 20th Maine holding the far left flank with no ammunition on Little Round Top, the Battle of Gettysburg is one of the most studied battles in American history.

I have been to all of these PA destinations from this trip before, but I was in fifth or sixth grade and they weren't very significant to me then. I loved Gettysburg this time around. Devils Den is really cool. And I loved Gettysburg National Cemetery. I know it's weird, but I was fascinated by the old trees that were everywhere.
