Kurt was an excellent guide for our walking tour of downtown Gettysburg. I have visited Gettysburg many times in my life but have never taken a downtown tour. If you’ve toured the battlefields, this is definitely worthwhile. Throughout the downtown area, Kurt told the stories of individual residents who stepped up with heroic actions as they were caught in the middle of this battle. This tour gave me a whole new perspective on the battle and those involved.

We were not sure what to expect on a cold and very windy day. Roseanne was revved up and so animated to tell us all kinds of interesting history around the town of Gettysburg, I don’t think she even thought about how freezing cold it was. My husband was loving all of the little known facts and absorbed it all, I did my best but a little too chilly for me to focus.-;). Definitely worth it and we will be back in warmer months!
