Scott and historian Jenn recap their Easter weekend 2026 trip to the Gettysburg Film Festival, describing Gettysburg’s high-energy atmosphere, panels, and meetups with the history community. They organized a Thursday-night gathering of 10–15 content creators at The Gettys Burger, then attended a “Turn” panel about Washington’s Culper Spy Ring with actors including Samuel Roukin (Captain Simcoe).
They covered a panel on the upcoming film “Gettysburg 1863,” directed by Bo Brinkman and starring Roukin, highlighting its town-centered perspective and production details, and recorded a small-group interview with the director and actor.
As media, they photographed major events including a George Washington panel with Ken Burns, Chris Jackson, and Rick Atkinson, and a sold-out Hamilton panel with Chris Jackson, Phillipa Soo, and Okieriete “Oak” Onaodowan.
They also toured the battlefield with Addressing Gettysburg’s Matt Callery, captured sunrise photos at Little Round Top, and share local food and coffee recommendations.
