Please join us on for our final battlefield walk of the season on Thursday, August 28 at 6:00 pm with Licensed Battlefield Guide Larry Korczyk. Larry will conclude his multi-year Roundtable tour of the Wheatfield with a concentration on the US Regulars and the PA Reserves!
About our Guide:
Lawrence Korczyk has been a Licensed Battlefield Guide at Gettysburg National Military Park for 13 years. He passed the National Park Service licensed guide exam in March of 2013. Prior to this, he worked for 30+ years in the logistics industry as an operations manager at two large distribution centers. However, always having a love of history, particularly on the American Civil War, he joined a Civil War Round Table in his native state of New Jersey, became an active Civil War reenactor for the 2nd Rhode Island Infantry, and dreamed, after his first visit to Gettysburg in 1990, of becoming a Licensed Battlefield Guide. Today, he lives in Gettysburg, has conducted hundreds of tours on the battlefield, is a regular speaker at Civil War Round Tables, has co-authored a book titled “Top Ten at Gettysburg”, is a columnist for the Civil War Monitor for a column titled Gettysburg Chronicles, and conducts Leadership Tours on the battlefield on Gettysburg with a specific focus on the leadership of the two commanding officers.
Meeting place:
Please park along Ayres Avenue and meet him at the Monument to the 148th Pennsylvania.
