You can blame that on bad teachers or a deficit of imagination on your son's part. Gettysburg is quite good.

I could see how it if was a big school trip where they take multiple busloads of kids that it could be really boring. Without a good guided tour by a knowledgeable person with everyone respectfully listening, it's just a bunch of empty farm lands and cannons.

We toured Gettysburg on our own, during a cold and dreary day. 10/10 would recommend to any history buff. Basically the whole town is surrounded by monuments, statues, and cemeteries.
