Battle of Gettysburg-Witness Trees

Are you familiar with “witness trees”? Here are two witness trees I discovered in Gettysburg PA along with some information about the famed Gettysburg Address speech.

Thanks for sharing! Wish I could visit Gettysburg some day! When you said Lincoln consecrated it I was like wait, what did he say in the speech? My 2nd grade students recited it in a Patriotic play we had every year for 20 years and each of the 3 second grade classes split the speech into 3 parts to recite. My class always did the ending. The play was entitled The Secrets to America's Greatness.

Thanks for sharing YOUR story. The class play sounds awesome! What a great lesson for your students. Hope you make it their soon.
