Generations Event at Gettysburg

From the American Battlefield Trust November 2021 calendar.

The picture features a bunch of young kids wearing Civil War uniforms at the Gettysburg Generations Event.

For 20 years the Thrust has worked hard to inspire America's youth, the soon-to-be stewards of our national memory.

Each year, more than 50,000 teachers and millions of students consume our history and civics content, and we have sent tens of thousands of young people to historic sites via our Field Trip Fund.

Our Generation program helps parents and grandparents encourage budding historians in their own families.

Yep, those of us already into history are getting a bit too old ourselves, so it is important to work with the next generation.  Another good thing the trust sponsors is the annual battlefield cleanups.
