Join us on Friday, September 15, as Dan Welch recounts the heroic defense of Culp’s Hill by George Sears Greene’s brigade.  Against overwhelming odds, this lone Union brigade held this critically important terrain in a climactic action on July 2, 1863.  Learn about Greene, his men, and their gallant service on the slopes of Culp’s Hill in this exciting presentation, which electrified attendees at this summer’s Sacred Trust lectures.  What better way to kick of our 65^th anniversary campaign year, or commemorate the 160^th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg?

Mr. Welch is an educator with a public school district in northeast Ohio. Previously, he served as the education programs coordinator for the Gettysburg Foundation, and continues to serve as a seasonal park ranger at Gettysburg National Military Park.
