Today was going to be a day to just hang out at the campground and relax. Well, we decided to visit the Snyder's Pretzel Factory in Nanover PA and take a tour of the factory. Of course we purchased some pretzels before we left. After Snyder's we stopped by the National Cemetery and a docent there gave us a great Living History Tour. Her focus was on Elizabeth Thorn who was the cartaker at the Evergreen Cemetery at the time of the battles of Gettysburg. We heard her story of the battle and her part in burying all of the dead after the battles. Our docent did a wonderful job in bring history to life. The pictures are the entrance to the Evergreen Cemetery as it would have appeared in 1863 and a statue of Elizabeth Thorn.
