    While there isn't as much to see at the Gettysburg National Cemetery as at many stops in Gettysburg, I'm glad I stopped by during my Gettysburg day trip. It is the resting place for more than 3,500 Union soldiers killed in the Battle of Gettysburg and the site of Gettysburg Address (President Lincoln gave the address at the cemetery's dedication in 1863). It's on the auto tour, so make sure to stop by if you're exploring the many sites and monuments of the military park.

    I have driven by the farm many times, alwys when closing. This time I found time to stop. I…read moreexpected to spend an hour or so, and ended up spending a whole afternoon!! The gem here are the rangers. I saw two talks, both of which I was completely enthralled with the history and the lessons. I loved being able to see Ike's book collection. Seeing a book collection tells you a lot about a person. Also the discussion on diplomacy was enlightening and so enjoyable. I did do the home tour. I was inspired by Mrs. Eisenhower, but also the partnership they had as a couple, let me with #relationshipgoals to bring home. The landscape is also just gorgeous! Stop. Learn. Enjoy!

    The Eisenhower Home was such an interesting and memorable tour. As grand as President Eisenhower's…read morelife and presidency were, it was fascinating to learn that this peaceful hobby farm was where he chose to retire. You really can learn a lot about someone by seeing the place they chose to call home. Getting there is part of the adventure--you enter via a long, single-lane gravel road. It's so long you might wonder if you've made a wrong turn! Thankfully, GPS got us there without trouble. When you arrive, there's one long row of parking spaces. Head straight to the ticket area for your house tour pass, as they do seem to run out early. While you wait for your tour time, you can explore the expansive outdoor areas. Our favorites were: 1. Eisenhower's vehicles, including the limo that shuttled him to and from Washington, D.C., every weekend. 2. The Secret Service room with the small safe that once held the nuclear codes. 3. The putting green, where we enjoyed a little golf while taking in the gorgeous countryside views. 4. The greenhouse and patio, where we imagined the President and Mamie spending peaceful afternoons. We were lucky to get tickets for the 11 a.m. tour, which began with a 10-20 minute ranger talk about how the Eisenhowers chose this home and some of the people who lived and visited here. Tip: arrive a little early--the ranger shared some great informal stories before the official tour began right at 11 a.m. Inside, the ranger spent about 5 minutes pointing out key details, then let us explore at our own pace with a pamphlet to guide us. Indoor highlights included: 1. The portraits of President Eisenhower, Mamie, and their son John. 2. The TV in the informal living room--such a relatable touch for a world leader. 3. The special staircase wallpaper Mamie ordered, featuring the seals of all 50 states. 4. Mamie's very pink bedroom and bathroom. Between the history, the personal touches, and the beautiful setting, this is an absolute must-visit in Gettysburg.

    This was my favorite attraction in Gettysburg, and it was free! We accidentally stumbled into it…read morewhile strolling along the sidewalk before dinner, and I could not have been happier to have discovered it. It's small, but exceptionally well done. There was a character at the entrance who tells you a little bit about the home. Then there was a fairly lengthy video playing in the living room that lays out the battle much more effectively than the other tours I experienced. Throughout the home are little displays and interactive pieces that provide fascinating insights into the battle. There was also a staff member wandering around who was very knowledgeable and happy to answer my nerdy questions. If I had to start my trip to Gettysburg all over again, I would start here! Highly recommend.

    While walking around and exploring on a hot day, we decided to go inside (cool air ftw) and were…read moredelighted with all the information and artifacts that were in this location (for free!). There were interactive elements and several volunteers that told stories about the home, the former family that lived there, and many other interesting information. One of the volunteers, Mike, told fascinating tidbit and pulled other photos from behind the counter to add in telling the stories of these otherwise forgotten people. He made the place a real joy. All of the volunteers were passionate about history and breathed life into the place. Not to be missed by history lovers.

    Little Round Top

    Immerse into this historic landscape [Gettysburg PA]…read more On July 2, 1863 Little Round Top saw some of the fiercest fighting here during the Battle of Gettysburg. It is a popular spot for visitors to stop by. The park did some great improvements to Little Round Top since our last visit here in 2018. Noticeable is the improved parking area and better pathways. They've also cleared and cleaned up the wild vegetation and added new interpretative signs making for an improved visitor experience. We didn't do any hiking on the new trails this winter but we enjoyed seeing some of the improvements around the area of Hazletts Battery and my first time up close to see the 44th New York Monument. Little Round Top was a strategic position for the Union army's line of defense. Historic landscape and cool battlefield to visit in Gettysburg! Review #3658

    A scene of some of the heaviest fighting in the Battle, Little Round top became even more famous…read moreafter the 1990's movie Gettysburg came out. there are two parts to this area, the first is the front of the hill with the little gothic castle/memorial built on it, you can look down that steep slope, or up it and try to imagine men trying to fight their way up it. Just climbing it is a scramble, then add on gun fire and you understand how determined these men are. The second spot is behind the main area, the flank and not just the area held by the 24th Maine. An area in among woods and I find it strangely peaceful. Another great part of this area is the badly broken ground makes it hard to put up monuments. a large part of the battlefield is obstructed by monuments erected by men after the war. and it gets a bit much, you can't swing a dead cat in some areas without hitting an obelisk dedicated to the fact on July 2 a man from Indiana stubbed his toe. But here the broken ground makes it too difficult and so visitors get a much better idea of what the land was like. So why only 4 stars? It's the parks department's fault. They spent several years rehabbing the site and while protecting the slopes is good, some idiot 'preserved' the site by putting up stop walls, metal railings and 'improved ' parking which badly damages the back of the hill. On my last visit I joked with rangers about how come in the movie the boys from Maine didn't just settling in behind this nice stone wall that covers the hillside? So it is beautiful and historic and WAS less spoiled than the other parks of the park. but please fed' parks stop with the 'improvements' which destroy the park you say you're trying to preserve.
