The first interactive installations visitors encounter at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum explore the divisive sentiments that initiated the Civil War conflict and show where each state fell—on the side of secession or union.

Two interactive stations challenge visitors to pack for battle or learn bugle calls in game-like experiences that illuminate a day in the life of a Civil War soldier.

In three different galleries, each focusing on one day in the Battle of Gettysburg, these interactive maps provide detailed data on Union and Confederate troops and their field locations.

Two large, motion graphics presentations outline the major battles of the Civil War before and after the Battle of Gettysburg.

The museum’s growing collection of portraits of soldiers and civilians who experienced the Battle of Gettysburg are featured in this searchable database.
