THE NEW GETTYSBURG EXPERIENCE
The Museum and Visitor Center at Gettysburg National Military Park
Gettysburg is the place where 165,000 soldiers met to fight for their beliefs. It is the place where Abraham Lincoln helped mend a torn nation with his Gettysburg Address, and the place where millions have stood to reflect on the importance of the events that occurred here. Since the smoke cleared from the Battlefield in 1863, Gettysburg has been a must-see for every American.
An awe-inspiring experience, the new Museum and Visitor Center at Gettysburg National Military Park celebrated its grand opening on September 26, 2008. This 139,000-square foot introduction to the Battlefield includes the Cyclorama, Film and Museum Experience, and space for education, meetings, research and curatorial services.
