Through twelve interactive galleries filled with over 1,000 rare artifacts, visitors embark on a journey through time that begins with prehistoric legends and winds through centuries of Gettysburg’s storied past. Highlights include dinosaur footprints, a recreation of the Gettys Tavern, and our acclaimed immersive experience – Caught in the Crossfire – which places visitors inside a home under siege during the Battle of Gettysburg.
