Restroom Trailer Partners in Gettysburg for 150th Anniversary

Last week marked the 150^th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, which was fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863. This three day battle proved pivotal for both the Confederate and Union armies. More than 50, 000 soldiers were killed, injured, or went missing in this essential battle in history. More than 1,000 bodies are still buried in the field. Gettysburg was a major tourist attraction this weekend. Many flocked to the memorable sight of the famous battle. There were Battle of Gettysburg re-enactments taking place, tourist shops available, Civil War museums open, parades, and of course, the notorious ghost tours which take place as it gets dark at night. Though there are many different versions to the story, there is a consistent ending…the ghosts of the dead soldiers come out to greet the visitors at night. Not to haunt, but to help tell their story. At last, soldiers from both sides of the battle line come together for one common purpose. And tourists from all over the country travel to Gettysburg to see and hear these ghosts’ stories. In order to help accommodate the crowds’ restroom needs, our partners set up a restroom trailer in Gettysburg. These additional bathroom units can be centrally located so that guests can easily, quickly, and comfortably find and use the facility. The restroom trailers are safe and sanitary with flushable toilets, full hand wash areas, and plenty of ventilation for fresh air. We’re excited that our partners were able to be a part of this historic, monumental commemoration.
