Old NPS loading and firing video

Union soldier at Support Arms

Do you remember the old video from the NPS at Gettysburg that showed infantry loading and firing and cannon loading and firing? The first time I went there it was in the old Cyclorama Center before they had the Visitor Center. Eventually the video players moved into the Visiotr Center. After they opened the brand NEW Visitor Center the films have disappeared... or so I thought. I was searching on Youtube and found them! Someone posted them. Oh the memories. Cool.

Here is a shot of the old Visitor Center in the middle of the demolition. This shot was from the Gettysburg Daily, posted on their website on April 1, 2009. You can visit their website and see a whole bunch of great photos and videos. I have the link on the right.
