Next, step onto the "Lincoln Train Ride," board the simulated Presidential Train with President Lincoln as he travels to Gettysburg to dedicate the National Cemetary. As you travel to Gettysburg for the dedication of the new cemetery you will see Civil War countryside passing by while listening to the personal thoughts of President Lincoln preparing to deliver "a few appropriate remarks" at the dedication on November 19th 1863.
