Students at Mount Ararat High school went to Gettysburg Pennsylvania to see history come alive. They spent three days on a walking tour of the Gettysburg National Battlefield. History Teacher Dennis Edmonson believes that going to the places were history actually happened instills special meaning and validity in his students minds. Students went to the top of Little Round Top and read from the words of Joshua Chamberlain. They also went to the cemetery and read the Gettysburg address right were those words were heard almost 150 years ago. The group also specifically seeks out Maine monuments in the park. So it's not just the 20th Maine's heroic stand on Little Round Top that students study, but also the histories of the 5th Maine Artillery and the 4th, 16th and 17th Maine regiments. The field trip is perhaps the most popular in the school. Students overwhelmingly hail it as an inspiring journey.
