A Casino in Gettysburg, good or not?
The idea of 100's of slot machines just a cannon shot away from the battlefield at Gettysburg has some historians and preservationists up in arms.
Last week, a group of 10 investors relealed plans to seek a casino license from the state as part of a proposed Gettysburg Gaming Resort and Spa.
It would be a mile and a half from the National Military Park, the battle ground where in 1863 thousands of men gave their lives.
David LeVan, a businessman known in town for contributing generously to preservation efforts, said that the casino would be fully respectful of the history. It would not have a Civil War theme or be visible from the park.
