Senior citizens from Elizabethton and the area recently hit the road for a bus trip to Lancaster, Pa. The trip took them to Gettysburg National Park and a tour of the battlefield. They enjoyed the "Moses" show at the Sight and Sound Theater and finally, a visit to Hershey's Chocolate World. They had lots of fun and more chocolate than they could eat. The group is pictured outside the Tennessee Memorial at the Gettysburg Battlefield. Another trip is planned next fall to Lancaster to see Daniel at the Sight and Sound Theater.

One of the stops for senior citizens on their recent trip to Pennsylvania was at the Gettysburg National Park and the Tennessee Memorial on the Battlefield. The Monument is dedicated to the 1st, 7th, and 14th Tennessee Infantry Regiments and the men who fought and died for their convictions. Killed at the battle at Gettysburg were 16 Tennesseans; 118 wounded, 37 wounded and missing, and 245 missing. A total of 775 men from the three regiments fought in the battle at Gettysburg. The trip was sponsored by the Elizabethton Senior Center.
