Gettysburg National Military Park Museum & Visitor Center
The Visitor Center offers a rich introduction to the Battle of Gettysburg. Visitors can explore the museum exhibits, featuring artifacts, interactive displays, and multimedia presentations on the Civil War and the battle's significance. The Cyclorama, a massive 360-degree painting, immerses guests in Pickett's Charge. A film narrated by Morgan Freeman, A New Birth of Freedom, provides historical context. Rangers lead talks, tours, and educational programs. The bookstore offers souvenirs and resources, while the refreshment saloon provides meals in a period-inspired setting.
McPherson Ridge at Gettysburg National Military Park marks the site of the opening clash of the Battle of Gettysburg on July 1, 1863. Visitors can explore historic landscapes, including woodlots and open fields, where Union and Confederate forces first engaged. Key landmarks include the McPherson Barn, used as a field hospital, and monuments honoring regiments and leaders such as General John Reynolds. Wayside exhibits provide detailed insights into the events of the battle. The ridge offers panoramic views of the battlefield and its surroundings.
This monument features a bronze relief portrait of Doubleday mounted on a granite base. It commemorates his leadership in commanding the Union’s First Corps after the death of Major General John Reynolds. Though Doubleday is often linked to the myth of inventing baseball, his true legacy lies in his service during the Civil War.
