Absolute must stop in order to see Gettysburg. Check in with the foundation to see how to best see sites. Driving tour is a must. Museum is worth the entrance price check all of it out.

A great place to learn about the Battle of Gettysburg and the significant role it had on the Civil War. I recommend the mini documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman and the Cyclorama-truly beautiful.

After exploring inside, have a seat with the 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, read the Gettysburg Address on the nearby rock, and absorb the history that happened here July 1st through 3rd in 1863.

We watched the movie, watched the 360 view and did the museum tour. Very interesting to do. The tour with the car to all the statues is a must-do. Go to the top at the the Pennsylvania monument

The visitor center movie and cyclorama are awesome. Gives you good start for your auto self guided tour. So much to see throughout the battlefield.
Stefanie SchindlerJuillet 14, 2018
There’s a free guided tour and our tour guide was simply amazing. It starts at the top of the hour right by the entrance.
Matt ShobeNovembre 21, 2019
Take a ranger-guided hike - they are so knowledgeable and bring such richness to the experience, especially storytelling skill that you just don't get from a book or audio tour.
Jon DarveauJuin 25, 2015
Breathtaking site of the most important battle of the Civil War. Spring for the guided tour, it's well worth it and puts everything together since it can overwhelming.
Rob MosleyJuin 22, 2013
Gettysburg is one of my all time favorite places to visit. It's a great American Memorial to all that lost their lives here, North or South. Everyone should read about the Civil War and visit here.
Tina MetzlerJuin 1, 2015
This place is so amazing. It's an emotional experience to stand on Little Round Top and think about all that happened in this small town. Don't pass up any opportunity to go there.

If you have a chance to see the special program "An Evening With the Painting," do not miss it! It's the story of the Gettysburg Cyclorama and its restoration, with a behind-the-scenes tour! En savoir plus

Great exhibits, souvenir and book shop. An amazing piece of american history that you should visit at least once in your lifetime.
Jessica JohnstonAoût 6, 2014
We love visiting Gettysburg and this is always our first stop. The museum area is great and the film and cyclorama is excellent.
Alex RavenelAoût 22, 2015
Battlefield tours (book ahead of time!) are a great way to get a better understanding of the battle.
Jeff RMars 23, 2022
An amazing place to understand American history and the sacrifices made to make this country free.

"There were several regiments of Sharpshooters employed on both sides during the war. The first regiment was composed of men who brought their own rifles, and could snuff a candle at a hundred yards."
Jimmy KastnerAoût 9, 2017
This is not something you can see real quick. We though we could on the way home... nope. We now need to come back. What we saw was incredible.

"The town suffered considerably from our artillery, and the houses were covered with indentations of musket balls...few of the inhabitants were injured, most of them taking refuge in their cellars."
KimberlyAoût 18, 2013
Great customer service & the book shop was very informative. Enjoyed my day a the park, need to make a second trip to finish seeing all the sights.

Free of charge, explore historical battlefields, Soldier’s National Cemetery and the David Wills House, where President Lincoln put the finishing touches on the Gettysburg Address.

"Occasionally a Federal and Confederate Sharpshooter would be face to face, each would resort to every artifice to kill the other. Hats elevated upon sticks and powder flashed to draw fire."
Cheryl RiceJuillet 26, 2010
The auto tour is great! Buy CD package to play as you drive in the gift shop (the one by Jake Boritt costs a little more but it's definitely worth it).

Definitely spend the few dollars to see the movie narrated by Morgan Freeman and the original 1884 Cyclorama. They are both amazing.
Duncan HowsleyAvril 11, 2016
Simply amazing. Planned a few hours here - wish we'd planned for a few days
RobAvril 22, 2013
Awesome place everything is free. I recommend getting the driving tour DVD it is so worth it
John CarlsonJuillet 30, 2013
We did the driving toyrs with the CDs--I would recommend this for all groups except children
Jamie Brandon JrJuin 5, 2012
The personal battlefield driver/tour guide is MORE than worth it. But, make sure that you have plenty of gas.
Reverend Doctor darkstaff™Mai 31, 2013
Great folks here. Battery went dead in the van, the ranger service came right out and gave us a jump!

"On the Fourth of July, 1863, Lee's shattered army withdrew from Gettysburg...The artist, in passing over the previous days' engagements, found in a lonely place the covert of a rebel sharpshooter."

"The second of July was one of the most lovely days of the season, with the exception of occasional shots...remained perfectly quiet. The headquarters, however...presented a most animated appearance."

Donald De Lue, creator of WVU’s Mountaineer statue, also sculpted the Mississippi & Louisiana state monuments at Gettysburg. See a resemblance to the Mountaineer?

"Immediately after the battle, the owner returned, repaired the damages, and the building now promises to stand for many years, bearing the scars of that fierce conflict." on Meade's Headquarters.

Pick up the driving tour audio cd at the counter in bookstore. Grab the map from the info desk and hit the road. Allows you to drive and visit at your pace and get some stories along the way.

If taking a bus tour, be sure to get to the bus shelter 10 minutes early.

"Just back of the cemetery at Gettysburg, on the road leading to Taneytown, stands a humble dwelling, made historical by its occupation as headquarters of General Meade."

"Gettysburg, on the turnpike from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh...stands on elevated ground, in the midst of a fertile farming country. The town numbers about four thousand inhabitants." circa 1863.

A must see...the Visitor Center does not tell you handicapped is allowed to drive thru the cemetery

Gorgeous new space for the Visitor Center but don't eat here - it was $6 for a very tiny fountain soda and glass of water. Food is wayyy over priced.

Beautiful. Amazing. Great facilities.

"Cemetery Ridge was the scene of some of the severest fighting and on which is situated the National Soldiers' Cemetery. Here President Lincoln attended the consecration of the Soldiers' Monument."
