Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Center

Gettysburg’s main visitor facility combines several roles: it is a Civil War museum, home to the restored 1884 Gettysburg Cyclorama, and the starting point for battlefield and Eisenhower site tours. Its exhibits center on the battle and its place in the wider war, featuring artifacts such as cannon, firearms, and uniforms, along with galleries, a theater, and visitor amenities. The site continues a long history of Gettysburg museums that began in the late 19th century and evolved through earlier institutions, including the Cyclorama Building opened in 1962 under Mission 66. The current complex brings together interpretation, collections, and a major visual memorial in one place.
