GETTYSBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – Families (especially families with special learners) will be able to attend events at Gettysburg National Military Park to start the new year.

“Our museum and our park can and should be a community resource for all families. History teaches us how to think critically, and how to feel empathy, it inspires us to tackle our challenges or to right past wrongs. It helps us to grow as individuals and as a society… and besides all that, time traveling can be great fun,” explained Barbara Sanders, Supervisory Education Specialist for Gettysburg National Military Park.
