History Roundtable with Mike Gilbert

Local historian Mike Gilbert shares fascinating stories of local and national history during this popular series, which takes place on six Saturdays in September and October. Pre-recorded virtual sessions also will be offered for those who cannot attend in-person.

This week, Gilbert discusses Turning Point: The Pivotal Third Day of Gettysburg. Day Three of the Battle of Gettysburg - July 3, 1863 - was crucial due to Pickett’s Charge, a significant Confederate assault on the Union center at Cemetery Ridge. This battle halted General Lee’s invasion of the North, ultimately boosting American morale and paving the way for Lincoln’s Gettysburg address.

Each session is $5, or registrants can purchase all six for $25. Pre-registration and pre-payment for both in-person and virtual sessions are required. Cash, checks and credit cards are accepted. To register and pay, contact Julie Mayle, curator of manuscripts, at am1heWxlIHwgcmJoYXllcyAhIG9yZw==. No refunds.
