[quote=Anonymous]Should stop in on Mother Seton Shrine in Emmetsburg after Gettysburg, America’s first saint.  This is 50th anniversary of her sainthood so a lot of special events ( even if not Catholic)

Her order also played important role at battle of Gettysburg as nurses.  You could then go to Frederick to visit the Civil War medical museum- learn all about Letterman. (Seton shrine also has neat museum detailing her life and the orders’ impressive work on those three days in July.)

This is also a cool idea: follow the trail of Benedict Arnold’s escape at West Point.  Visit the chapel - where his portrait was removed all the Revolution general portraits remain.  For Arnold a blank white space.  Then cross the Hudson and tour the house where he gave up Washington and then boarded a ship on the Hudson for London.  There is a cool trail - but warning the Amtrak tracks of NE corridor break some of the mystique.

Great idea Op![/quote]
