Slip into history at the March to Destiny

Shippensburg earned a place in history books when nearly 20,000 Confederate soldiers occupied the Union town in late June of 1863 during the Civil War.

I am from Fort Ashby, WV. I was very impressed with Shippensburg and its citizens! Your little town is so historicaly beautiful. Our Unit, "The Third MD, Co. B" enjoyed our visit so much to your town, that those of us who don't stay in our tents, have booked rooms at Shippen's Place for next year!! Thank you so much for your hospitality and friedship! We will be back.
