Welcome to our second of three new guides: Dan O'Connor 👏👏👏

Dan completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Delaware in international relations and history. After completing his graduate studies at the American University, he spent his career working for the State Department as a Foreign Service Officer. After his retirement Dan and his wife moved to Gettysburg.

Dan says, "Gettysburg's history literally speaks to you from the walls of the houses and from the bricks of the sidewalk. I look forward to sharing the amazing history of the town and the civilians with visitors."

Yesterday we splashed through town with the 8th graders from the Dubois Area School District History Club. The rain didn't dampen the enthusiasm of those future historians. 🌧☔️🌧

Moving from one house to another isn't unusual....but moving a house is. The Dobbin House is relocating one of their properties to make room for a public park. The move takes place today and you can watch the livestream at the link in their post.

Welcome to our newest Gettysburg Licensed Town Guide, Don Zavodny!

Don has always had a love of history since childhood, but it wasn't until college that he first became fascinated with the Civil War. It was only four years ago when he first visited Gettysburg, and from that moment he knew he had to move here. He moved to Gettysburg from Houston, Texas with his wife and four children last August and immediately started the process to become a Gettysburg Licensed Town Guide because he wanted to share with visitors the stories of the civilians in the town and how they responded to the extraordinary circumstances of the battle, as well as the impact of Abraham Lincoln's brief visit to Gettysburg.

Don has been a middle school history teacher for ten years, and currently teaches in Maryland. He also earned his master's degree in American history from Gettysburg College (as part of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History's remote master's program) and has recently published Civil War articles on the Emerging Civil War website and the Lincoln Herald journal. He also worked as an Educator and Interpreter with the Texas Historical Commission for one year at the Bush Family Home State Historic Site in Midland, Texas.

We know the details of Abe's Brooks Brothers suit but what is there to say about Perry Como's cable knit sweater? If you are from Ireland there is plenty to say about Perry's jumper. Our Irish visitors explained the legends of the knitting stitches on Perry's Aran jumper (sweater). The jumpers were knitted by the wives of fishermen who lived on Aran Island off the west coast of Ireland. The cable stitch represents the ropes on the fishing vessels, the diamond stitch represents their nets, and seaweed is represented by the moss stitch. Who knew Perry was so dapper? If you want your very own Aran jumper stop in at A Little Irish Too on York Street.
