Little Round Top Tour | Gettysburg 161

Little Round Top is open and the American Battlefield Trust is here to give you a tour of the new digs! #gettysburgtour

The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.

You can tell Gary is super excited about the reopening. He is even more geeked up than he is normally.

Kris White, I keep the American Heritage Picture History of the American Civil War copyright 1960 on my bedside stand. My parents bought it when I was a little kid.

American Heritage was my 10 year old me battlefield maps - You need to do this interpretation style on every battlefield!!!! Thank You

That little round top map the artist made is incredible. It's super nostalgic, it looks exactly like the drawings from that book I got handed down from my grandfather to my father then to me. It was my favorite book as a kid. I looked at all those battlefield maps almost everyday growing up

Went there yesterday and was so impressed. Walked the new paths and saw monuments such as the 83rd Pennsylvania, that I have never seen before. And I have been there about 10 times. I literally walked down the hill almost to the valley of death. Warning if you are a senior citizen like me, or just out of shape, you will be huffing and puffing when you walk back up the hill.

I was sad Little Round Top was closed last September when I toured the site! Now that it is open I must go back!

I did a Civil War tour this weekend, I went to Chancellorsville, Antietam, Harper's Ferry, Wilderness, Spotsylvania and Fredericksburg and I must say you guys and your videos are awesome. I watched them beforehand to get a good idea of what to see and look for. You guys do awesome work!

Two big wins on the day Little Round Top reopened. First, of course, was the reopening itself after a nearly two year wait. And we just HAPPENED to be there on the big day! Second, we encountered Garry and his crew, which was an enormous treat! We've seen much of his content on YouTube and have been impressed from the start by his CRAZY command of the history, his absolutely infectious energy and his obvious love of the subject matter. We had a few minutes to chat with this rock star, and he was so normal and gracious. FANS FOR

The excellent map giving an excellent interpretation of Vincent's Brigade.? I always understood the Union forces were along the military crest but this suggests they were actually further downhill that makes sense because of the artillery near the summit and also a degree of conformity of 16th Michigan to what was going on Devil's Den/Wheatfield. Thence the weakness that the 140th New York plugged. Please also John Pullen's book as well occasionally.. it's not just the Killer Angels and film.

So proud of this beautiful and historic accomplishment. Bravo to so many wonderful people for their great efforts.

One of these days I'm going to Gettysburg. My supervisor went to Gettysburg, then traveled south to Antietam and Bull Run/Manassas...wish I could've went with him!!!

[tomdynia]

Wow! Little Round Top looks great! I've been there many times, now I see I've got to go back.

[davidmcglone]

I was just there this last April and I was bummed that Little Round Top was closed. Glad to see it back open.

[andymullins]

My 2-great g'father was there with the 15th Ala. Thank God he survived. My 1-great grandfather fought in the Spanish American War. And my grandfather in WW2. There was a lot of surviving that had to happen for me to exist.

Nicely done, may the men who fought and died on this battlefield feel the love we have for this place.

[markmeyer]

David Greenspan smiles at knowing the inspiration of his map art. Great tribute.

[JP-eggz]

Thank you for taking us along to such a historical place. It’s the next best thing to being there.

[Amby]

I can't wait to get back to see Little Round Top!

We used a licensed battlefield guide when we toured the park a dozen years ago, and it definitely improves the experience as you hear stories about parts of the battlefield you would otherwise just roll by and be unaware of. These folks definitely know the details of the battle and the park. HIGHLY recommend it.

Thanks for the walk around of Little Round Top. Next visit I will have to stop at the 83rd PA monument. The regiment commander Orpheus Woodward is buried 45 minutes from my home in Neosho Falls, KS
