Watch the movie at the visitors center and look at the movement maps to get a better idea of directions on the field when you reach them. 1 monument marks 300 union troops

Awesome Landmark in the History of ManKind! Don't miss visiting the Battlefields at least once in your life. It's like nothing else I've ever experienced. Words can't do it justice! HIstory... :-)

In 1863, in this small town in southern Pennsylvania, something happened that profoundly influenced our country 's development and shaped our national character.

Film and Cyclorama are a must! Make sure to visit Little Round Top too

Mike Berger

Must start by visiting the cyclorama , film and museum at the visitor center. Then audio or guided tour is the battlefields. An amazing slice of dramatic history !

Em

#9 on top 25 landmarks in the world. Massive. Intense - narration brought battlefield into life. So much history!

Joe Barry

The certified guide service was fantastic. Having the guide drive us around and describe the battle chronologically was ideal. Much better than a bus or a self-guided audio tour .

Amy Sawyer

Buy the self tour CD in the gift shop . You can listen to it in your car while you tour the battlefields at your own pace!

Mike Fraietta

Search for "Civil War music " on your Spotify, Rdio etc. and add some tunes to the tour .

James Mikelis

Do the driving tour first. Then visit the museum when all the buses and tour groups are gone - usually after 1pm.

Jeremy Jacobowitz

I stayed a few hours and must come back for a much longer visit. Awesome history to explore.

2d MS, 42d MS, & 55th NC hide in the cut to escape Federal fire. Unfortunately the 84th NY, 95th NY and 6th WI reach the steep banks and shoot down. 42d MS & 55th NC escape but most 2d MS captured. - CJ Wallington
