Gettysburg Address 162nd Anniversary Walking Tour

‘The Ground Around the Seminary’: President Lincoln’s Battlefield Excursion

Outdoor Walking Tour by Codie Eash, SRMEC Director of Education and Interpretation

Hours before Abraham Lincoln delivered his iconic Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863, at least three eyewitnesses recalled that the president toured the battlefield, and according to one, the party “visited the ground around the Seminary, and Mr. Lincoln joined in.”

Join Codie as we use historical evidence to walk that ground and investigate Lincoln’s apparent visit.
