    Do not fool yourself if you think you know everything about Gettysburg! It's been 30 years since…read morelast visiting the area and the Museum is the best National Museum I can remember ~ MOVIE + CYCLORAMA + BUS TOUR are just a phenomenal experience ... Movie is top-rate (narrated by Morgan Freeman), Cyclorama is beyond belief in that is one complete piece and the bus tour (2 hourse) was far too short .. .. Well laid-out exhibits and terrific displays can keep you in the museum for hours .. .. And, they have a large gift shop and food court should you get hungry or just want to avoid the elements outside .. .. I did the BUS TOUR first and then did the MUSEUM/FILM/CYCLORAMA the following morning (best for small crowds) .. ..

It did not disappoint. We did started with the Cyclorama, a 360 degree painting of Pickett's Charge with lights and sound. We then did a bus tour of the battlefield. Our tour guide Charlie, was just amazing. He was informative, and very funny. We stopped at some of the many monuments and locations on the battlefield such as Culp's Hill, Pickett's Charge, and Little Round Top. I cannot recommend this place more, I'd give it 11 stars if I could. You definitely give yourself a few days here.

    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.

    Located in the middle of a roundabout in downtown Chamberburg where Main Street meets Lincoln…read moreHighway, the fountain is surrounded by plaques dedicated to those who lost their lives in service of this city and borough throughout several wars and conflicts. Of course, the Civil War was the big one here, as the Mason-Dixon line is just south and the Confederate and the Union soldiers passed through here a number of times. And not always in a good way - I understand that the Confederates burned the town to the ground when the ransom was not paid. There is no easy way to get close to it as the crosswalks are for going across Main Street and such. Just wait for a break in the traffic and be wary. The plaque reads: Erected at center of Memorial Square to honor over 5,000 Franklin County soldiers who served in Civil War, 161-1865. Secured through gifts of Franklin County citizens and dedicated July 17, 1878. Entered in National Register of Historic Places, May 19, 1978. Rebuilt through gifts of Franklin County citizens and rededicated October 6, 1979. Tablets surrounding fountain honor Franklin County citizens who served in all U.S. wars. One plaque commemorates the meeting of General R. E. Lee and A. P. Hill before the Battle of Gettysburg. Reconstruction of Memorial Square - A public facility - 1981. Funded in part through a grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, U. S. Department of the Interior and public contributions.

    Located just off US-15, the Catoctin Furnace (also known as Catoctin Iron Furnace) is a historic…read moreiron forge. Only the smelting blast furnace remains and the forge is long gone. Catoctin Furnace was constructed in 1774 by four brothers Thomas, Baker, Roger and James Johnson to produce pig iron from locally mined hematite. In blast by 1776, the furnace provided ammunition (cannonballs) for the American Revolutionary War. Ultimately, three furnaces were built at the site, each named for the site. The first Catoctin Furnace was rebuilt a short distance away in 1787. The second, named Isabella was built in the 1850s by Jacob Kunkel (references give dates from 1853 to 1867). It still stands, within Cunningham Falls State Park. In 1973, the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society, Inc. was formed by G. Eugene Anderson, Clement E. Gardiner, J. Franklin Mentzer, and Earl M. Shankle to "foster and promote the restoration of the Catoctin Furnace Historic District...and to maintain the same exclusively for educational and scientific purposes...to exhibit to coming generations our heritage of the past..." The Catoctin Furnace Historical Society, Inc., celebrates, studies, and preserves the rich history of this pre-revolutionary industrial village, including the architecture, cultural landscapes, lifeways, and foodways of the workers. This is a nice stop just off the highway for a bit of industrial era and Revolutionary War history. Several captions adorn the site pointing out the important parts. Much of the area is handicapped accessible. [Review 15590 overall - 635 in Maryland - 1094 of 2021.]
