LBG Charlie Fennell and a school group

Since 1915 five-hundred-ninety-nine individuals have successfully completed the government testing, training and licensing process earning a license to guide. The process has evolved through the years to today’s Tiered process: application, written exam, competitive panel interview, intensive weekend training seminar, oral examination, and finally licensing. The process of attaining a license to legally conduct paid tours of the Gettysburg National Military Park is by far the question most frequently asked of veteran battlefield guides.
