The little town of Fairfield, PA 8 miles south of Gettysburg celebrated the Anniversary of the Civil War and honored its towns heroes who fought in battle and died during 1861-1865. It was a relaxing day as we walked around the town finding ourselves amidst Union and Confederate soldiers co-mingling in comraderie. Their reenactment was a great prelude to the events about to come in the upcoming weekend when Gettysburg will kick off its 150th celebration events. The Pennsylvania Dutch countryside and farmland is lush and green with orchards of fruit trees blooming.
