A free program this evening featuring Licensed Battlefield Guides.

Licensed Battlefield Guides can be reserved for tours throughout the winter. This time of year provides an excellent opportunity to study terrain! . Though the battle was fought in July, much of the wooded areas on the battlefield appeared open due to animals grazing in the farmers' woodlots. . Therefore, if you want to see Culp's Hill the way Edwin Forbes did, take a tour in the winter! The rocks appearing in sketches, paintings, and early photography create a scavenger hun...t on the field. . Call the office at 717-337-1709 and leave a message to reserve your guide today. . Gift certificates are also available. Message us for details! . Sketch and painting in this post provided from the Library of Congress. See more

If you haven't heard, the GNMP Museum and Visitor Center is now OPEN Thursday - Sunday. Licensed Battlefield Guides are available here for same day tours or advance reservation. Winter is an excellent time to see the terrain on the field!

On this anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's famous visit to Gettysburg, I hope you find some time to reflect. Have a great day out there.

STAY TUNED - We are keeping an eye on the forecast and will make a decision to proceed or cancel by tomorrow morning 0900.

This Sunday, Licensed Battlefield Guide Therese Orr will delve into the opening phase of the battle from a favorite Kentuckian's point of view. Starting at 2pm, the tour concludes as the sun sets over the western hills. Hope to see you there!

Our next walk, this Sunday at 2!

Join us this Sunday at 2pm for a walk through "The Wheatfield". Many visitors come to Gettysburg this time of year in search of the paranormal. The events witnessed by the soldiers in combat here are just as haunting. Follow LBG Bill Trelease on a walk through this infamous fight, following the stories of the 17th Maine regiment.
