@MrShaneGower @GettysburgNEH Walking the battlefield early morning also is one of my favorite times. It’s so calm and peaceful.

A rainy run through these hallowed grounds. Incredible. @GettysburgNEH @NEHgov

Walking the route used in Pickett’s Charge. Can’t wait to share with my students. Maybe I’ll start the Civil War unit in August… @GettysburgNEH @NEHgov @CarmelMiddleSch

Shout out to our friends @GCSpecColl. We're excited to see the teaching projects that get rustled up by @MrHuhtaCMS and his fellow teachers after this week #NEHWhyHere, @EDSITEment @NEH_Education

I got an Uber to Little Round Top and walked back. So glad I did! The sky was beautiful after the storm! @GettysburgNEH #socstudme #sschat #historyteacher

[Gettysburg NEH @GettysburgNEH]

@debwhite @MrShaneGower @MrShaneGower is of course correct, Deb. We'll do out best to make sure every teacher can participate fully in all aspects of the workshop.

Excellent work here by our colleague Tim Orr from @ODU, and a fine action shot as well @MrShaneGower! #NEHWhyHere @EDSITEment @NEH_Education

On the Peach Orchard with Dr Timothy Orr! #socstudme #savhat #historyteacher @GettysburgNEH

[Gettysburg NEH @GettysburgNEH]

@MegOBrien1 @MrShaneGower I'd say we have been luckier with the weather this time, @MegOBrien1, but we did all return from Culp's Hill drenched to the bone on Tuesday!

Exploring the Peach Orchard, a key area on Gettysburg Day 2. I’m ashamed to say I didn’t know anything about the fighting here… but, hey, that’s why I’m here! @GettysburgNEH @NEHgov
