Attention Reenactors:
We are accepting application for the 2021 season. 
If your group would like to participate in our Living History program, please contact us at 717-334-6245 or email us at info@gettysburgmuseum.com

Please note: We require all groups to carry liability insurance, and have a minimum of 10 participants on site during our museum's operating hours. 

​Groups are required to provide visitors with demonstrations, and daily activities that are authentic, and enhance our guests experience to Gettysburg, and the Gettysburg Heritage Center.

What is Living history?

  • What did soldiers do to pass the time between battle campaigns?
  • How heavy was the clothing and supplies they carried?
  • How did you load a percussion cap musket?
  • How did the conflict impact civilian life?


Find out these answers and more when you visit our Living History Encampments!

Special weekends*, May through November, the Gettysburg Heritage Center hosts complimentary Living History Encampments. Visitors are welcomed to actively learn by strolling through the camp, viewing drills and demonstrations, and engaging in conversation with historians.

*Featured participants & programs will vary and represent different aspects of life. Programming is dictated by the contracted living history unit.
