PDA Annual Business Meeting PDA’s annual business meeting will be held Saturday, April 6 beginning at 1:30 p.m. with a legislative update. All PDA members in good standing are encouraged to attend.

There is no fee to attend the business meeting. Activities & Social Events Beyond the battlefield, visitors can experience historic homes, heritage centers and learn the story of Gettysburg through guided tours.
