Our grandkids enjoyed the videos and the interactive displays. We started our day here at the museum and it gave them a good start. They understood much better as we walked around the battlefield and can't wait to go back.

It is awesome, Informative and well done. Enjoyed the live enactments on the front lawn. Superb presentation of the progression of the civil war near Gettysburg. A historical town with amazing preservation done . A great job was done passing down the information from the 1800's.

This was such an informative tour before going to see the surrounding areas of the cemetery and battlefield. The movie inside the theatre was detailed and broken down with clear information about the 3 day Battle of Gettysburg. Definitely worth a visit.
