The New Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Center
The partnership between the National Park Service and the Gettysburg Foundation, based on the 1999 General Management Plan for Gettysburg National Military Park, has resulted in the opening of the new Museum and Visitor Center located at 1195 Baltimore Pike in Cumberland Township, Adams County. The new building welcomes visitors to the park and hosts a museum with exhibits that trace the Civil War from beginning to dramatic end with items from the park's massive collection of Civil War and Gettysburg artifacts, and houses the fully restored Gettysburg Cyclorama. The $135 million dollar project has been funded through generous donations of corporations and individuals alike.
