Complete information about visiting Gettysburg National Military Park is now on National Park Planner!
Gettysburg National Military Park is located in the rural town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The park preserves the Civil War battlefield on which the United States and Confederate armies fought a three-day battle beginning on July 1, 1863. The park consists of the battlefield itself, a Visitor Center with a massive Civil War museum, the restored 1884 cyclorama painting of Pickett’s Charge, a 22-minute film on the Battle of Gettysburg, and the Soldiers’ National Cemetery (aka Gettysburg National Cemetery). There is also a unit of the park about four miles east of the main battlefield, East Cavalry Field, where Union and Confederate cavalry brigades clashed on July 3rd around the same time Pickett’s Charge was taking place.
