Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
It all started while the fires on the battlefield of Gettysburg were still smoldering and the blood had barely dried. As soon as the armies left, the families of the fallen soldiers and curious citizens started coming, and local residents started guiding them around. Since 1863, the role of guiding the scholars, relatives, veterans, and tourists was taken over by various groups and people who claimed to have some knowledge of what really happened and where.
The battlefield was becoming one of the most important parks commemorating the Civil War. Due to the need for highly educated and knowledgeable guides who would provide accurate information, in 1915 the Federal Government established a testing of the guides in order to ensure the quality of the information. Once tested, the guides became licensed members of the Association of Licensed Battlefield Guides. Licensed guides will ensure that your visit to the Gettysburg Battlefield will be informative and exciting, and that the information you will get is accurate and interesting.
