Coconut Visits Gettysburg National Military PArk

Over Thanksgiving vacation, Coconut left Harrisonburg, VA and traveled north through the states of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland to Pennsylvania to visit Gettysburg National Military Park to see where Willa’s distant relative Colonel Joshua Chamberlain earned a Medal of Honor fighting for the Union Infantry of the 20th Maine at the battle of Little Round Top on July 2, 1863.

The state line between Pennsylvania and Maryland is also the Mason-Dixon line.

Coconut’s first stop at the Gettysburg National Battlefield was at the visitor’s center to get directions to Little Round Top and a chance to visit with President Abraham Lincoln.
