Today, the City of Gettysburg is a museum dedicated to the bloodiest battle in the Civil War - the battle that changed the course of the war.
Monuments dedicated to the events of July 1863 can be found at every turn. You can spend the whole day viewing these monuments and remembering the events of that horrific battle.
We suggest spending an hour and a half here seeing the main attractions, leaving you time to make additional stops on the way to Pittsburgh.
The park gates open at 6 a.m. First, you should go to the high tower, from where you can view a large part of the battlefield.
