“Four score and seven years ago” , one of our greatest Presidents land-marked the significance of this historic destination. It remains one of the most popular attractions in the country for its wholesome charm and influential past.  To optimize your educational excursion, you must tour the Gettysburg National Historic Site and learn all about the Civil War at one of the most important battlefields in the U.S. Abraham Lincoln wasn’t the only president of significance to grace their presence in Gettysburg. Former President Dwight Einsenhower also has strong roots in the town– you can tour his home! At night, dine in a colonial themed tavern before embarking on a guided ghost tour to visit the lingering spirits on the grounds of Gettysburg. We suggest this trip for all middle schoolers!
