The comments of past visitors about
the "Gettysburg Experi ence":
"We can read books and articles about the Battle of Gettysburg. We can hear
lectures about the Battle. We can even see movies portraying the Battle. However, nothing compares to standing
on the very ground where tens of thousands of men clashed in the bloodiest conflict ever fought in America. I am
thankful such a place exists, and that it is in such superb condition."
"I visited Gettysburg during the re-enactments.... I love the Civil War, and one of the main reasons I visited
was because of the movie "Gettysburg." The town totally took my breath away."
"Gettysburg is an excellent historical experience for anyone interested in history. You can really get a feel
for what actually went on back in June, 1863."
"I can not beg in to tell you of the emotion that swelled up inside of me from the statues,
monuments and memorials. To walk out on the ground in front of the Angle, I felt I could reach out and shake the
many hands of those who participated in what transpired there."
"I found the whole area to be beautiful, especially the park and battleground,
and thought provoking."
"Gettysburg has the most fascinating blend of the past and the present."
