Some tips/basic info that we found useful:nnThere is no admission to drive the park yourself. National park Access/Military/Golden Passes don’t do anything here. The road is free to drive but you can also opt to purchase a bus tour. Might be a good idea to do a bus if it’s busy because many of the tour stops don’t have much parking.nnYou can also purchase an auto tour at the gift shop or App Store. Stops are numbered throughout the park.nnBrian Pickering on YouTube gives a free auto tour as well that coincides with the official auto tour stops.nnGoogle maps also has the stops listed so you can easily navigate to them.nnLeave plenty of time because if you make a few stops this could easily take you 4 hours or so.

One of the most beautifully well preserved battlefields in North America, this National Military Park encompasses nearly four thousand acres around the town of Gettysburg and preserves the battle that took place over the first three days of July 1863. Visitors to the park should start by visiting the museum and getting maps and information about the battlefield and the numerous ways of touring the battlefield. Tours can be self guided, a private tour guide can be hired, or there are many battlefield walks facilitated by National Park Service Rangers throughout the year. The park is open throughout the year but services can be limited in the winter months and large crowds are to be expected in the summer and especially in July around the anniversary of the battle. Please dress appropriately for the level of activity planned when visiting and bring plenty of water, sunscreen and bug spray in the summer.

Incredible tour. First a professional movie regarding the background then a self-guided car tour which is able to sense Where You Are and what to look for at that point. Park, get out, and walk the very fields and Hills where are the battles took place that could have spelled the end of our nation
