Highlights
Ride across Gettysburg's battlefield on horseback with a Licensed Battlefield Guide.
Itinerary
Our most popular tour is a two-hour ride across the battlefield, beginning on the Union line and riding to the Confederate advance. We will make stops along the way where your Licensed Battlefield Guide will explain the flow of the battle (why the Generals did what they did, and what it meant to the soldiers). You will cross the Union defensive lines and through the farms where the Union and Confederate armies struggled on July 2nd and 3rd.
