Join us on a short van trip to Gettysburg, PA where we will board a vintage passenger coach and embark on a first-class train ride near the battlefield, with views of the Eternal Light Peace Memorial and the picturesque countryside. Along the way, you’ll learn about various historical points of interest and the modern-day use of the railroad, all from the comfort of fully renovated 1950s-era passenger railcars.
Afterwards, we will continue to a local restaurant for lunch.
