82nd Airborne

Friday, August 20, 2010 to
Sunday, August 22, 2010

The American Civil War Museum Complex will be taking a step back in time, but not to the Civil War era.  Instead, the 82nd Airborne Unit will be setting up a living history camp four weekends throughout the summer season. 

Gettysburg is not only rich in Civil War history, but also in World War I and World War II history.  President Eisenhower resided in Gettysburg following his presidency. His first visit to the area came when he was stationed at Camp Colt, which was located in the area behind the museum complex. The only home he ever owned was right here in Gettysburg.  

The camp will be open to the public from 9 am - 5 pm.  Visitors are encouraged to stop by and learn about the life and adventures of the 82nd Airborne. The event is free and open to the public and suitable for the entire family!
