Catch a glimpse of the old Colonial Town Center of Gettysburg, along with an insight into what life was like for regular folk back then.

During the guided tour of the infamous Gettysburg Battlefield, walk in the footsteps of the soldiers who fought across these vast grasslands. Hear stories of how the battle was fought, which sadly took 51,000 casualties.
