What was it like to live in 1863?

Thanks to the Gettysburg Foundation and the National Park Service, visitors can step back in time and glimpse everyday life during one of the nation’s most turbulent years.

Preserving these historic homes requires careful conservation and close collaboration. The Gettysburg Foundation and the National Park Service work together to maintain authenticity while making sites accessible and educational for visitors today.

Brie filmed, scripted, and produced this spot for the Gettysburg Foundation as part of a fundraising campaign supporting a multi‑million dollar restoration project in partnership with the National Park Service.
