Let us transport you in a luxury vehicle to a turning point in the Civil War. You will be escorted by a Battlefield guide that will tell an in depth narrative of those three fateful days in July 1863.
Approximately a two hour journey roundtrip from DC to Gettysburg.
Upon arrival, you will first see an introductory film, the Cyclorama, and museum. Following a lunch break, you will meet your battlefield guide at the Welcome Center to begin your three hour driving tour of the Gettysburg Battlefield.
Narrated by Morgan Freeman, the 22-minute film “A New Birth of Freedom” provides the backdrop for your visit with a dramatic look at the Battle of Gettysburg and its place in history. Go prepared. Set the scene for your visit by seeing the film before venturing out on the battlefield.
The Cyclorama, originally displayed in 1884, this massive fully-restored, 360-degree painting places you in the midst of Pickett’s Charge on the decisive third day of the Battle. Get ready to see the actual site of Pickett’s Charge on the Gettysburg battlefield.
At the museum, Shackles. Swords. Bullet-pierced furniture. Through rare artifacts and interactive stories, journey back through the events and issues surrounding the Civil War and the Battle of Gettysburg.
The Museum exhibits help to tell the story. Now open in the Museum, the special temporary exhibit, A Rough Coarse Life: The World of the Civil War Soldier, offers a window into the lives, experiences and memories of those who struggled, suffered and survived a century and a half ago. Some artifacts were never-before-seen on display.
Enjoy a two hour driving tour with a licensed guide with stops along the route at the most critical points of the war.
