Gettysburg was site of the bloodiest battle during the Civil War. Today, the field is managed by the National Park Service. Millions flock to this small town in southern Pennsylvania to pay their respects to those who lost their lives there. Abraham Lincoln visited Gettysburg on its first anniversary and delivered his famous Gettysburg Address.

The park ha recently opened a new visitor center with a compelling movie narrated by Morgan Freeman and a state of the art museum that merges the latest in technology with history. In a few months, the cyclorama will be reopened after refurbishing.
