The battle has ended. The guns are finally silent. What does the area around Gettysburg look like? Take a walk with Licensed Battlefield Guide Larry Korczyk through the farmlands of Gettysburg and examine the battle’s aftermath.

Using damage claims from the farmers, reports of battle movements, and historical society records, Larry recounts the stories of nine farms that became fighting fields, hospitals, and sniper outposts.

Prior to achieving his license, he worked for more than 30 years in the logistics industry as a manager at two large distribution centers. While still living and working in his native state of New Jersey, Larry became an active Civil War reenactor for the 2nd Rhode Island Infantry.
