About Gettysburg

Gettysburg is a small Pennsylvania town beside the battlefield where the Union army defeated Lee's army in July 1863, with museums, monuments and orchards.

Gettysburg is a small town in south-central Pennsylvania, surrounded by farmland and low ridges. The Battle of Gettysburg was fought here over three days in July 1863, the largest battle of the American Civil War, and the Union victory is seen as a turning point.
