Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center - Gettysburg Foundation
Gettysburg has always been a "must see" for every American. With the opening of the new Museum and Visitor Center at Gettysburg National Military Park on April 14, 2008, it became a "must do" for those who have visited before as well as those who have yet to come.
The 139,000-square-foot Museum and Visitor Center blends the familiar with exciting new programs, exhibits and experiences. Located just a short distance from the old Visitor Center and major points on the Battlefield, the new facilities have ample parking and designated lots for tour buses to help visitors move quickly to the welcome and exhibit areas. Groups also will be able to meet their Licensed Battlefield Guide there, and catch the shuttle to the Eisenhower National Historic Site.
Throughout the 11 exhibit galleries, visitors still will encounter some of the popular items from the collection (weaponry and uniforms, for example) along with a great deal more. State-of-the-art galleries will use a greater variety of objects and artifacts from Gettysburg National Military Park’s extensive collection (and from other museums and private collections from around the country) to offer perspective, and a greater appreciation for the sacrifices of those who became a part of the greatest battle ever fought in North America.
The Gettysburg Cyclorama painting opened to the public on Friday, September 26, 2008 in the new Museum and Visitor Center.
