great place to visit. I like to ride bikes through the battlefield - much easier to get around. Balderderry Inn is a great B&B.
A confederate re-enacter was downing WV at the Virginia monument. “West Virginia is constitutionally illegitimate, because no one went to Richmond to vote on whether they could break off”, he said. I walked past....tipped my WV hat and said: “yeah and there’s plenty of people on the mountains still happy about that today!”.
It really is. Great seeing the entire battlefield, looking out from little round top to devils den....the wheatfield....The angle.....culls hill. You can really feel the history
You sure can. Tours of the battlefield, tours of the town as there is ton of history throughout, ate at two excellent bar/restaurants in town that was also historic, Dwight Eisenhower museum, civil war museum, and maybe a few other things visited. Stayed at a hotel in the middle of downtown. Very enjoyable 3 night weekend.
Yeah, I didn’t even know about Eisenhower’s farm. That was really awesome. Makes me like him on a whole higher level
