Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Just fifty miles west of Lancaster, on Route 30, this historic college town is visited by some 800,000 people each year.
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the place where one President spoke and another resided, represents many things to many people. To some there is the thrill of identification, as they view the 2300 markers and monuments on the Battlefield, where men from 25 states reached heights of bravery that have seldom been equalled.
For many, Gettysburg’s fine museums hold great attraction. The National Museum, with the world’s largest collection of Civil War articles, houses the famed electric map. The Hall of Presidents depicts the history of the nation “as told by the Presidents themselves.”
