Celebrate the Gettysburg Address
Don’t miss the Lincoln Memorial Shrine’s tribute to one of the most enduring speeches in American history on Saturday, November 21 at 11am in Smiley Park. The community is invited to the annual commemoration of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address—an event that promises stirring music, thundering cannons, and a moving reflection on the legacy of liberty and sacrifice.
Returning by popular demand, the Mountain Fifes and Drums and the Camp Carleton Band will fill the air with authentic Civil War-era music. The 1st Pennsylvania Light Artillery will deliver live artillery demonstrations, offering a window into the sights and sounds of the battlefield.
The highlight of the morning will be a dramatic rendition of Lincoln’s iconic speech by renowned Lincoln presenter Robert Broski, capturing the spirit and solemnity of the moment that helped redefine a nation.
