Have "Coffee With a Historian"
Sep 10, 2023
The Gettysburg Foundation invites area residents and Gettysburg visitors to purchase tickets for a new program at the Gettysburg Lincoln Railroad StationTM, now home to Ticket to the Past—Unforgettable Journeys, Gettysburg’s first virtual reality experience. Join historian Larry Korczyk Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023, at 9 a.m. for “Coffee with a Historian.” The station located at 35 Carlisle Street in downtown Gettysburg—where U.S. history was made—offers an excellent backdrop for informal discussions on “All Things Gettysburg 1863” over a cup of coffee. Korczyk will lead discussions on Gettysburg-related history during the Oct. 8 program. The program offers ticket holders the chance to ask questions pertaining to what they have always wanted to know about Gettysburg in 1863. Guests are encouraged to interact and join the conversation.
Korczyk is a Licensed Battlefield Guide with 30 years of service as a manager in the logistics and distribution field. With his background in physical resource management, Larry helps connect today’s leadership issues with challenges Gettysburg leaders faced in the timely planning, coordinating and deploying of soldiers and resources during the July 1863 battle. A Civil War reenactor and author, Korczyk co-authored the book Top Ten at Gettysburg in addition to publishing articles in the Civil War Monitor magazine.
The one-hour informal discussions will take place on the covered pavilion. Coffee and tea will be provided. Seating is limited to 30 attendees and ticket reservations are required in advance.
