On Saturday, the luxury motor-coach, equipped with lavatory, microphone, and DVD, will take us first to the Gettysburg History Center and Diorama, followed by a visit to the Lincoln Train Museum.
Afterward, guests will re-board the motor-coach for a 2.5 hour (approx.) tour of the battlefield led by former Rockland County Sheriff James Kralik (or his trained docent). A special feature of the tour will be visiting and learning about the sites where Rockland County troops were involved!

On Sunday morning, after a hot buffet breakfast, guests will board the motor-coach for the Gettysburg Battlefield Visitor Center, which boasts a museum, informative film, gift shop and the famed cyclorama. Afterward, we will move forward in time, as we visit the Eisenhower farm. Guests will get a lunch at the Visitor Center before departing for home.
