Apr 25, 2008, This Is the Weekend to Visit

It's my favorite time of year to visit Gettysburg! The white dogwoods and pink redbuds paint the forest. There are also violets, mustard, and dandilions galore, not to mention the flowering orchard trees. There are lots of butterflies and bird singing. The best places to experience spring are Little Round Top and Culp's Hill.

I have added a photo to the homepage. Stay tuned for a video slideshow I will put together soon!
