The Dauphin County Commissioners joined other local officials to announce a series of events, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War.
The events, called "Freedom Jubilee" will take place throughout the year, with many activities taking place in the summer. They include lectures on the war and a free screening of Lincoln at the Civil War Museum.
"We do know Gettysburg is just a short drive and is going to be getting about four million visits and it would be a shame if we didn't try to tape into that and bring them here." Said Commissioner Jeff Haste.
