A new year has dawned in historic Gettysburg. To welcome the year 2026, at The Gettysburg Experience we offer our newest issue to help you pass through the winter days of January and February: including our updated Calendar of Events, delicious winter-time recipes, and articles of historical interest.

Since New Year’s Day 1863 was one of our nation’s most significant first days of the year, we offer Remembering the Great Emancipator, beginning on page 15. A biographical glimpse at one of Gettysburg’s great generals is chronicled in General G.K. Warren: His Finest Hour, beginning on page 23. A look at what life was like a century ago is offered in The Year 1925, beginning on page 31.

Our Editor’s Corner highlights an unusual New Year’s resolution in A February Face, beginning on page 34.

Don’t forget our Trivia Questions, found at the bottom of every odd-numbered page (except for the center, where our Map of Gettysburg is located). To ace the Trivia, be sure to read the articles first. Answers are on page 37.

We offer for your convenience an Advertisers’ Directory on page 38. We appreciate our advertisers, as they provide the only funding for the magazine. Please be sure to visit their places of business – we do and can highly recommend them.

Thank you for choosing The Gettysburg Experience, proud to be a part of this place called Gettysburg since 1997.
