We have been involved with this group for about 7 years. This year we decided to make ourselves offical.
Though not a recognized battlefield, Shippensburg became a staging area for Confederate troops prior to the Battle of Gettysburg. Residents endured a skirmish and the occupation of the town by 20,000 Confederate troops from June 23-30, 1863. The annual March to Destiny relives these events of the Civil War Era. Come and help us keep history alive.
