Gettysburg

Gettysburg is best known in Pennsylvania for the Battle of Gettysburg, fought here in July 1863 during the American Civil War. The borough and its surrounding fields form Gettysburg National Military Park, where Cemetery Ridge, Little Round Top and the Soldiers’ National Cemetery preserve key ground from the three-day battle. President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address at the cemetery’s dedication later that year. Rock Creek runs through the area, while the compact downtown retains nineteenth-century streetscapes, museums and institutions devoted to interpreting this defining episode in United States history.
