Abraham Lincoln's Trip To Gettysburg - Anita - 11-09-2026
In November 1863, President Abraham Lincoln journeyed to Gettysburg to remind the nation of what had been declared in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776.
This signature event will begin on November 18, 2026, with Lincoln's arrival by train, followed by various welcoming speeches and his visit to the David Wills House. On the following day, November 19, the cast and participants re-create the presidential procession, from the Square to the Soldiers' National Cemetery (within Gettysburg National Cemetery). Lincoln will once again deliver his iconic Gettysburg Address."
