What To Expect

Gettysburg Heritage Center

A visit to the Gettysburg Battlefield is not complete without stopping at the Gettysburg Heritage Center Museum. The tour begins at either the Heritage Center or the National Park Visitor Center. If you’re not at either location yet, head over now. From there, we’ll follow the official Auto Tour route.

Gettysburg National Military Park Museum & Visitor Center

Embark on this journey into the past at the Gettysburg Visitor Center! Get ready to be transported right into the middle of the battlefield... both in time and space. As we begin driving along the Gettysburg Battlefield Auto Road, we step back in time to the eve of battle. Who are the combatants? The generals? What are they fighting for? Why? We'll dive into the history of the United States of America up to the point of the Civil War. That'll help us understand what made Gettysburg such a poignant battle, and why a victory here was so important.

Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center

Our journey continues along the Gettysburg Auto Road as evening descends on the first day of battle. Union soldiers have paid heavily and lost ground. Is there any hope of success? We'll explore the various plans and strategies the generals come up with as they bunker down after the first day.

The Eternal Light Peace Memorial

As we drive, we'll pass the first of many memorials at Gettysburg - the Eternal Light Peace Memorial. This memorial commemorates the reunification of the United States. Maine granite forms the base, while Alabama limestone forms the pillar -- a symbolic unification of north and south.

Eisenhower National Historic Site

Here we can take an optional detour off of the Gettysburg Auto Road to visit the Eisenhower National Historic Site, which overlooks the battlefield. President Eisenhower often stayed here.

Little Round Top

Our drive passes Little Round Top, a critical skirmish site on the second day. Here Union soldiers just barely hold off Confederate troops, maintaining their control of this strategic hill. As we drive around the hill, we'll cross the Valley of Death -- an appropriate name for the site of such a bloody skirmish.

State of Pennsylvania Monument

Our path brings us to the Pennsylvania Memorial. This monument commemorates the nearly 35,000 Pennsylvanian soldiers who fought in this battle. While the stakes were high for everyone, they were particularly intense for these men of Pennsylvania: they weren’t fighting for an abstract idea, they were fighting for their very state.

High Water Mark of the Rebellion Monument

The high-water mark of the Confederacy refers to an area on Cemetery Ridge near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, marking the farthest point reached by Confederate forces during Pickett's Charge on July 3, 1863.Similar to a high water mark of water, the term is a reference to arguably the Confederate Army's best chance of achieving victory in the war. The line of advance was east of "The Angle" stone wall.

II would recommend this self-tour to anyone that enjoys American history and the Civil War. I saw the movie Gettysburg before my visit and this visit, seeing the actual battlefields and the stories attached to each battlefield; well, it was just impressive. I enjoyed the stories that followed the tour.

Well narrated and well directed for map navigation. Informative and simple to follow. Get close to a WiFi for ease of ap download prior to initiating the tour. At first it may seem the directions are taking you way out of the way but be patient and follow the instructions. Don’t hesitate to pause the narration to walk around and take-in the sites or take a break. It picks right up where you left off and very easy to replay. Make time- the tour is long and detailed sometimes taking short but time consuming detours that nevertheless are well worth it and a terrific value for the price. The detours are voluntary and it will tell you when occurring so you have the chance to postpone and pick up the tour another day or time. I can’t pick a favorite location, it’s all very impressive but forced to say, I’d point to the near initial portion of the tour. All you have to do is observe, better yet, WALK, the location at the rail under the bridge to get a sense of the circumstances under which these soldiers found themselves as vividly described by the ap. You are not sentient if the hair on your back don’t react. I was fortunate to visit during the precise time of year the battle took place (July 4 weekend 2021) and that definitely added a physical dimension to the imagination. All of the grounds are immaculate. All of the participant armies represented with all of their divisions, brigades memorialized, all by their respective States. The scale of this tour is immense, the grounds are hallowed and make for intense meditative spots throughout. Feel free to stop reading here. The balance are more personal thoughts about my visit and not necessarily a review. The history enthusiasts will be thrilled. Pick any subject; military history, military tactics, military weapons, logistics, field medicine, period medical equipment, techniques, medical/surgical tools, artillery tactics, artillery equipment, ballistics, period weapon technology, the politics of the war, the pro and cons, the personal drama, civilian sacrifices, near mythical acts of valor, made-for-epic heroism, inspirational stories of man and mammal. Anyone visiting this place should come out with a minimum sense of the magnitude, the seriousness, the cost and right, wrong or indifferent; the reasons for brother to fight so viciously, so crudely and so violently against brother. Now at the Museum itself, involvement of African American troops is well covered and greatly appreciated. You learn the individual’s name, rank, unit, incredible valor in combat. The tragic conditions before, during and after are enough to make anyone angry that a man be denied a promotion or respect for their valor because of their skin color. This is a good place to feel the burning brand of injustice and appreciate why it’s a big thing that the CSA lost their bid to perpetuate a failed and ignorant cause. In the Service I was told there was only one color; Green. And on any battlefield the only color that equalizes and matters is the one given from your own veins in sacrifice of an higher ideal. I don’t feel it an exaggeration to suggest that every citizen of this country should be made to visit this place, to get a better sense of our times. Is it propagandist? Maybe. History is written by the victors. Yet every American should experience this for themselves and judge the actions taken here with the knowledge of it’s flawed, obscene and immoral reasons, existing on both sides and weigh it's historical value, the heroic, ridiculously suicidal charges and counters and hopefully take from it that we are, by far, a much better Republic. And if we are lucky; perhaps inoculate against the nonsense that continually works to divide us. May the tour leave you a better person, a better citizen, a better American.

What an AMAZING review. It reminded me of how I felt after my first ever Gettysburg visit — though frankly, it’s relevant for every visit. You’ve really captured the emotions and poignancy of the battlefield. I can’t express how proud I am that it was our tour that accompanied you on this trip. Thank you so much.

This trip was amazing! Visiting these battlegrounds is a powerful experience that is difficult to describe in words. The museum is incredible along with the video and cyclorama. We went to Dobbins Tavern for lunch which was also a 10/10. I could not be more pleased with my trip to Gettysburg and would definitely recommend.
