Museum and Visitor Center is a great place to start your visit. Battlefield tours, either self-guided or with a Licensed Battlefield Guide, are available. Don't forget to visit the Soldiers National Cemetery and the David Wills House in town, where Abraham Lincoln stayed the night before he gave his Gettysburg Address.
