From The Lowcountry — August 2019

Peggy and I attended the Gettysburg Battlefield Preservation Association’s 46th annual Civil War Show the last weekend of June. Thank you to everyone who came by and visited us at our table. We always appreciate meeting our subscribers and visiting with our advertisers to receive their input. While in Gettysburg, we visited the battlefield and stayed at the Farnsworth House Inn Bed & Breakfast.

There, we received excellent service, whether we were dining at Sweeneys Tavern, being treated to a delicious complimentary freshly cooked breakfast each morning, or enjoying a snack or beverage in the Beer Garden. A must see is the wall of birdhouses near the coy pond. It is mesmerizing. And don’t miss a chance to visit Camp Tiger next to the rear parking lot for an opportunity to go back in time and envision what it would have been like to camp with Civil War soldiers. We wish to extend a special “Thank you” to Jean and Loring Schultz for taking the time to share a meal with us and for their exceptional hospitality. Due to our deadline for this issue, the September issue will cover the Gettysburg Anniversary Committee’s 156th reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg.
