Nehmt Euch Zeit mit.

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.

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.

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 SchindlerJuly 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.

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.
Tina MetzlerJuni 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! Mehr erfahren

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.

Great exhibits, souvenir and book shop. An amazing piece of american history that you should visit at least once in your lifetime.
Rob MosleyJuni 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.

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.
Jessica JohnstonAugust 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 RavenelAugust 22, 2015
Battlefield tours (book ahead of time!) are a great way to get a better understanding of the battle.
Jimmy KastnerAugust 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.
KimberlyAugust 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.

"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."
Alexander Gardner's Civil War ViewsAugust 16, 2011
"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."

"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."

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.

"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.

"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."

"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."

"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.

"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."

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

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

Definitely spend the few dollars to see the movie narrated by Morgan Freeman and the original 1884 Cyclorama. They are both amazing.
Duncan HowsleyApril 11, 2016
Simply amazing. Planned a few hours here - wish we'd planned for a few days

We did the driving toyrs with the CDs--I would recommend this for all groups except children

"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."

Great folks here. Battery went dead in the van, the ranger service came right out and gave us a jump!
Cheryl RiceJuly 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).
Jamie Brandon JrJuni 5, 2012
The personal battlefield driver/tour guide is MORE than worth it. But, make sure that you have plenty of gas.
Jim MoyerNovember 1, 2017
Love it here. So much to see and do

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