A New Perspective
...A Visual & Interactive Orientation Experience
of The Town & The Battlefield
The Gettysburg Heritage Center offers a new and unique look at the Battle of Gettysburg. The two-part self guided tour provides a VISUAL & INTERACTIVE experience from both the town and battle perspectives. We are home of the popular CELLAR EXPERIENCE, and we also have a tree you can crawl inside. When we say a "new perspective," we mean it!

Presented in cooperation with American Battlefield Trust this 20-minute HD program takes an in-depth look at the three day battle, including the aftermath and the dedication of Gettysburg National Cemetery. This movie is a higly-recommended "must-see" before touring the battlefield.

- Using artifacts, historical documents, interactive displays and 3D video & photography, learn how ordinary people did extraordinary things in a time of crisis.
