 Guided Tours:
Our Civil War walking tour will show you the Civil
War sites of Emmitsburg or Monterey Pass. I will share with you
pictures from the time period closely representing what area looked
like during the time of Civil War. The walking tour of Monterey will cover the heart of
the battlefield.
Our walking tour fee is $20.00 per-person with kids 10 years of
age and under free of charge.
This tour is approximately one hour long.
We do offer a complete
two and a half hour long tour
that includes
the heart of the Monterey Pass
battlefield as well as Smithsburg and Leitersburg. The fee
for this tour is $40.00.
All fees go back into our efforts of
historical preservation and research projects. The tours are a reserve basis only. If you plan a trip to the
Gettysburg area and would like to tour, please feel free to
contacts us!
As a living historians we
understand the importance of interpretation. Without
interpretation you would not be able to understand the events of a
certain time period. That is why interpretation programs are
very important. Our interpretational
programs and guided tours provide
our spectators with a wealth of knowledge regarding several different
topics about the area, in a variety of time periods. We are
continually creating new programs to educate the public about
different aspects of the Civil War and how they relate to our
community. Our interpretational programs are based upon Maryland State
Park guidelines and uniform standards. Our uniforms are
from S&S Sutler, Charlie Childs, CJ Daley and Ben Tart. While the
other uniforms are made by the MPBA based upon period correct patterns.
The MPBA headquarters is not handicap accessible and we have no
standard set of hours as I too work on weekends at the South Mountain
State Battlefield in Boonsboro, Maryland. If you see the Pennsylvania
Civil War Trails banner out on our front porch that means we are open.
On street parking is available on King Street or by the M&T Bank
near the square of Waynesboro. For information, please feel free to write to us or email us at
