A Sacred Trust - Gettysburg Perspectives Lecture Series and Book Signing
Gettysburg 150 - A Reflection of History Event
Saturday, June 29, 2013 to Sunday, June 30, 2013
150th Event
Sponsored by the Gettysburg Foundation and Gettysburg National Military Park, A Sacred Trust: Gettysburg Perspectives brings together renowned authors, historians, National Park Service Rangers and others to share perspectives on and commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.
This year's event will focus on 1863 topics and is a casual take on a formal lecture series. The diverse range of speakers and topics encourages the general public, as well as students of the Civil War, to delve deeper into the nature of the conflict that divided our nation. They are able to do so in a setting that is relaxed and conveniently located near an area where books are available for sale to satisfy the appetites whetted by presenters who are known specialists in their areas of Civil War study. The established name of the series is derived from the "sacred trust" that is the shared responsibility of current generations and serves as the cornerstone of the Gettysburg Foundation's mission - to work in partnership with the National Park Service to enhance preservation and understanding of the heritage and lasting significance of Gettysburg.
This event is FREE and open to the public at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum & Visitors Center.
