Gettysburg and related destinations

Walk the hallowed ground of Gettysburg National Military Park, where battlefield tours transform history from textbook to tangible reality. The Gettysburg Address echoes across the landscape where Lincoln's 271 words changed a nation. Downtown's historic buildings house museums, shops, and restaurants that maintain their 19th-century character without feeling like a theme park. Ghost tours reveal the town's spectral residents, who apparently never got the memo about moving on. The Jennie Wade House and Gettysburg Museum of History offer intimate glimpses into civilian life during America's deadliest battle. After dark, the Majestic Theatre provides entertainment in a beautifully restored 1925 venue that would make your great-grandparents feel right at home.
