One Heritage. One Habitat.
The Gettysburg Heritage Center is operated by the nonprofit Gettysburg Nature Alliance, whose mission is the education, preservation and rehabilitation of Gettysburg's habitat and heritage. We are rooted in history, committed to nature!
At the Heritage Center, you will discover stories of the Battle of Gettysburg from the perspectives of civilians who lived here and soldiers who fought here. Enter the popular "Cellar Experience," and see what it's like to hide in a basement while a battle rages outside.
You will discover the wonders of our habitat--crawl through a real Witness Tree that stood during the battle, and learn about how the tree was dated. Visitors will learn that we are committed to planting trees and native plants to our area, especially near our Learning Barn just southwest of town near the famous Sachs Covered Bridge.
After visiting the museum, don't miss the 20-minute movie presentation that offers an orientation to the Battle of Gettysburg. The award-winning movie, “Gettysburg: An Animated Map,” is presented by the American Battlefield Trust. It is perfect for first-time and return visitors alike.
Our bookstore is one of Gettysburg’s largest. Specializing in Civil War books, apparel, replica weapons, home décor, souvenirs, games & toys, collectibles, and much more, it offers affordable souvenirs and gifts for everyone.
