Gettysburg 2011
Reenactor Information
This year’s 2011
Gettysburg 148TH Anniversary Reenactment will be held on the actual
days of the Battle of Gettysburg – July 1, 2, & 3
(Friday/Saturday/Sunday). Federal Commander will be General Allen Baldwin
and CSA Commander will be General Dave Cornett. The Gettysburg 148TH
Reenactment will be one of the 2011 Kick-Off events for the Gettysburg
Sesquicentennial and 150TH commemoration. Participating troops and
units will be data based and given priority registration for the Gettysburg 150TH
Reenactment. Also, this year at registration each participating reenactor will
receive a unique March To The 150TH commemorative
medallion with 148TH in the center and the dates 1861-1865 and
2011-2015.
The event will be
moving back to the beautiful and pristine Gettysburg Movie Site on
Pumping Station Road. It is next to Gettysburg National Military Park,
overlooking the Roundtops and the historic Sachs Mill Covered Bridge. It is a
wonderful site for this year’s reenactment.
There will be one
major battle each day and also exclusive cavalry battles on Saturday and
Sunday morning. The battle schedule will be announced by the commanders in
September. The commanders are striving to provide some exciting and fresh
scenarios.
Because of its past
popularity and numerous recent requests, on Saturday evening after the battle,
all registered reenactors will be treated to a complimentary Pig Roast Barbeque
dinner served by the GAC staff. The traditional Camp Dance will be at 8PM on
Saturday evening.
Although the event
concludes on Sunday, because Monday is July 4, GAC is inviting reenactors to
stay on site and camp Sunday evening to enjoy Gettysburg on July 4. Camps
will need to be vacated by 5PM on Monday.
More information will
be posted for reenactors as it becomes available.
