The Battle of McDowell is a two-session class with the lecture portion held Wednesday, Nov. 30, 7-9 p.m. on campus. The group then will reconvene on Saturday, Dec. 3, on McDowell Battlefield for a tour from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Cost is $99. The bus will leave the Gettysburg Campus promptly at 7 a.m.
Jackson's Valley campaign began with the Battle of McDowell in which he defeated the combined Union forces of Generals Milroy and Schenck.
This class offers a unique opportunity to see a battlefield that is largely untouched by the hands of time. It also features spectacular scenic vistas.
