Itinerary
Begin your journey at the main visitor center. Explore exhibits, the museum, and the famous Cyclorama painting before heading out onto the battlefield.
A peaceful spring with a powerful story—on the night of July 2nd, Union and Confederate soldiers silently gathered here together to fill canteens, only to return to fighting the next morning.
The Union Army’s right flank and one of the most important defensive positions of the battle. Soldiers built breastworks here that helped hold off repeated Confederate attacks.
Climb the tower for sweeping views of the battlefield and a better understanding of how the Union defensive line was formed.
Honors General Henry Slocum, whose decision to move his troops forward without orders helped secure this critical ground and ultimately contributed to Union victory.
Visit the modest stone house where Confederate General Robert E. Lee made key decisions that shaped the outcome of the battle.
These monuments mark where Union cavalry held the line long enough for reinforcements to arrive—buying crucial time on the first day of battle.
Dedicated to the only civilian to fight in the battle—a 69-year-old local who joined Union soldiers and became a national legend.
A powerful symbol of reconciliation, dedicated in 1938 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to honor both Union and Confederate soldiers.
Climb for a panoramic view of the first day’s battlefield, where the Union line was pushed back through Gettysburg.
Stand where Confederate forces held their line and where General Lee directed the battle, including the lead-up to Pickett’s Charge.
One of the most famous sites of the battle. This hill was desperately defended in a last stand that saved the Union Army’s left flank.
