Part 3 of the Gettysburg series.
If you want to see an amazing success story of a battlefield recovery, watch this episode. In the years after the Battle of Gettysburg, the home that was used by Robert E. Lee as the headquarters for the Army of Northern Virginia become something of a tourist trap. But when the American Battlefield Trust obtained ownership of the property, they did the work of restoring it back to the way it looked in 1863. In this episode, we're exploring the area around Lee's HQ and going into the house itself. So much history here!
