Live performances by a variety of Civil War era bands such as the Coburn Brass Band in conjunction with the Annual Gettysburg Brass Band Festival.
Guest appearances by nationally recognized artists including Andrew Chernak, Francis Barnum, and Bradley Schmehl during the annual History Meets the Arts.

In addition to these unique events, every weekend from April until November, the American Civil War Wax Museum offers interactive Living History encampments with Civil War era re-enactors.
