Gettysburg Reenactment Field — Local services in Freedom Township

If you like history, especially civil war history, you will want to attend this 3 day reenactment at least once in your life. I gave 4 stars because I expected the reenactments to be much more spectacular with many more reenactors. I based this on past reviews and the fact that the movie that was shot here used footage from a reenactment. Also, I expected the battles to be fought in the authentic places, but this reenactment field was not one of the authentic battlefields. I found out that the the authentic battlefields are Federal property, but a private company puts on the reenactments. The Park Service won't allow the reenactments on their property.

It is like walking back in time while walking through their markets and seeing their campsites filled with tents. The actually battle reenactment was interesting to see. It was not very loud (thankfully) and it was awesome to hear historical facts regarding strategies, weapons, costume, etc. while watching the...

It was fun and it was nice to look around. It was very hot when we went and there wasn't anywhere to cool off. My son that is almost 2 my husband and I had to keep going to the car to try to cool off. Also the reenactment parts were very far apart. It was $70 for 2 adults and if you have kids older the 6 they are $20. We thought it was over priced and the food there was also over priced. It was nice to see and it probably would of been better if it wasn't so hot. The people working there were very nice and helpful. We might go again if it was a little cheeper, not as hot, and if our son...
