The American Battlefield Trust proudly presents our 2026 history hikes, tours, and lectures. This year's lineup can be experienced in person or online from the comfort of your living room. See the full schedule of this year's events.
- Hikes and Tours: Join fellow Trust members in the field at Brandy Station, Great Bridge, Gettysburg, Manassas, Spotsylvania, and other battlefields for in-person tours and hikes led by renowned historians and guides.
- Online Lectures: Can't make it in person? We're also offering a variety of online lectures covering topics from Washington's Crossing of the Delaware to the Siege of the Alamo to Culp's Hill at Gettysburg...and more!
- Live Podcast Recording: Join us on July 1, 2026, at the Adams County Historical Society for a live recording of Boom Goes the History, a podcast by the American Battlefield Trust. We'll have prizes, surprises, and a ton of Gettysburg guests.
Registration
Each hike, tour, and lecture has a registration fee. These fees support the American Battlefield Trust's education efforts and cover the permits required for the tours. They also help us offer members more quality programming worldwide.
Please Note
- All listed start times are in Eastern Standard Time (EST).
- These are HIKING tours, and they are not for the faint of heart. Please read the description of each tour before choosing to join us.
- Lunch and buses will not be provided on these tours. Participants are expected to bring their own water, food, and supplies for each hike.
We look forward to seeing you online and in the field this summer and fall!
