If your high school history class put you to sleep, and you feel like you are now mature enough to actually be interested in Civil War-time Gettysburg, this sounds like a really fun way to learn:

"Experience the richness of Civil War civilian life as you travel back in time, while enjoying opportunities for enriching your own contemporary "hearth and home".

This engrossing three-day, two night itinerary (GGG/H&H) includes:

• Two nights at an area historic bed and breakfast with two full breakfasts;
  
• A living history walking tour of Gettysburg;
  
• A tour of an authentic Civil War home;
  
• A hands-on “hearth art” activity such as spinning and weaving, quilting, pottery, or even scrapbooking;
  
• Afternoon "Tea with the Gutsy Gals of Gettysburg";
  
• A living history "Rendezvous with the Past" with one of those gutsy gals;
  
• A presentation at an historic barn on the use of quilts as Underground Railroad codes; and
  
• A visit to a most unusual plant and flower nursery for sampling international garlics and edible flowers.
  

Time is also made available for on-your-own dining, specialty shopping and sightseeing.

Cost per person: $220 (based on double occupancy, including taxes; add $46.35 per person, per night for single occupancy).
