The visual jewel of the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center, the Cyclorama, is the largest oil on canvas painting in the country; a 360- degree showcase of artist Paul Phillippoteaux’s awe-striking depiction of the climactic Picket’s Charge on July 3, 1863. It’s a powerfully visceral experience.
Innkeepers Florence and Debbie March are bringing an independent, if not an enchanting,allure to Gettysburg at their charming B&B.
9:00am – “In the Footsteps of Leaders” – Leadership Development Experience
www.gettysburgfoundation.org
What better way to learn about the true qualities of leadership than through a walk where generals commanded,battalion leaders carried out orders,and where foot soldiers followed them than here,at the very stag- ing ground of that defining battle of the CivilWar.
In a mere 90 minutes,certified Battlefield guide Sue Boardman condens- es what’s normally an 8-hour leadership lesson, showing our group that, in fact, the mistakes made during the battle (such as poor judgment and bad communication),and its most positive aspects as well (relying on subordinates and trusting one’s own instincts) can have paralleling impacts on any business and with any board, just as it did in the theater of war. It’s a fascinating way to look at
leadership.Yes, it’s the“little people” in any chain of command who ultimately make the biggest difference.

12:15pm - Historic Fairfield Inn 1757
www.thefairfieldinn.com
The oldest continuously operating tavern and inn in Gettysburg (and one of the five oldest in the country), the Fairfield is yet another steeped-in- Americana charmer. Its regional menu pairs well with Adams County Winery’s selections of locally-originated red and white
varietals.Since the inn’s wishing well is no more,guests have turned each dining and guest room into“WishingWalls”– coins of varying denomination can be found on shelves, tucked into crevices and slotted into nooks.
