Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Gettysburg Battle was the Civil War's turning point, its bloodiest battle, and the inspiration for President Abraham Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address." Gettysburg National Military Park was established to protect the area of the battle and to interpret its landscape and events to the visitors. The park includes the battlefield, battle support areas such as areas used for reserves, hospitals, and supplies, and several relevant non-battle areas that include the Gettysburg National Cemetery. The Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Cente, located within the park, contains most of the park's 43,000 Civil War artifacts, and is one of the best things to do in Gettysburg, PA. There are numerous battle re-enactments and commemorative events organized in the park every year. The park staff is also in charge of replanting the original forests and other plants that existed in the area at the time of the battle.
