What To Expect
1
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. Note: In this bundle, each tour is 30+ mile-long and takes 2-3 hours to complete. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
6
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.
7
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.
8
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.

When we arrived at start address, that specific building didn’t open until an hour later. When I called customer number for questions, no one could tel me the exact answers I needed. They didn’t have alot of knowledge about the starting address. If you are going to represent another business then they should know how to answer questions. The app didn’t work in the beginning when I first arrived at the starting point. The employee at the Heritage center took the time to get me started. The tour guide on the app was great, very detailed, very informative and kept us on the right direction, on time. We enjoyed the tour but I was very upset in the beginning that we couldn’t get answers when I needed them.
