New content loading from . . . TEXAS? You got it! Big thanks to our members that donated to make our first video swing to The Lone Star State happen! We were able to visit The Alamo, San Jacinto, Galveston and a private artifact collection that may have set a record for the most "wooowwwww"'s from Garry. We got the VIP experience along the way, and can't wait to share the videos with you. Be on the look out!

*WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU* As we plan our filming for 2027, we want to know what Civil War travel series our viewers want next! Here are the options: 1.) The Peninsula Campaign & Seven Days Battles 165 (Never covered before, we know, hard to believe!) 2.) Shiloh 165 (Last series was in 2021, many many cameras and mics ago) 3.) The Trans-Mississippi Theater (Battles like Wilson’s Creek, Pea Ridge, Prairie Grove and Honey Springs, among others. Also never covered before). Just because one wins does not mean we will never do the others, but we will prioritize which ever comes in first!

*RESTORATION VICTORY ALERT* The war museum at Gettysburg that sat on the Baltimore Pike is officially gone, opening up a view of Steven's Knoll that has not been seen in decades! Additionally, the McKnight House which sits next door has been restored to its wartime appearance (historic photo included)! Below you will find several before and after shots. Thank you to everyone that helped make this possible!
