Gettysburg National Military Park, Gettysburg

We have been to the park to see some of the scenery into the past, but our last visit we spent milling around the visitor center and store. This is an exceptional shop. They have the best books on Gettysburg and other historical events in the founding of our country. Wonderful shirts and sweatshirts, and all sorts of gift items. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The store is well laid out and clean. All around the store are exhibits which are just simply fascinating. Don’t miss stopping at the visitor center when you visit the fields and the town.

Always worth a visit. This is not something you can see and completely take in with one visit. However, even if you can only fit in a quick look, pick out a couple of highlights such as Little Round Top or the site of the Gettysburg Address or the Eternal Light Peace Memorial or the High Water Mark. And then make plans to come back again and again to see it all. It is awe inspiring to learn of the sacrifices made by so many for the preservation of our union and for the liberty of all Americans.
