Here’s a chance to see the Liberty Rifles at Gettysburg NMP on 3 July!

Where can you see The Liberty Rifles this summer?

Gettysburg!

Our real time follow-in-their-footsteps Irish Brigade program went so well last year that Gettysburg invited us back for another one.

On the afternoon of Friday, July 3 we will be recreating the 11th Mississippi infantry and you can march along with us! A ranger-led program will begin on Seminary Ridge and culminate at the Brian Farm on Cemetery Ridge where one company of the 11th suffered 100% casualties.

Keep an eye out here and on the park’s website for updates on this and other anniversary programs.
