Tour Gettysburg to uncover remarkable Civil War history surrounded by idyllic scenery and plenty of exciting outdoor activities for student groups

Gettysburg, PA, stands uniquely positioned as one of our nation’s premier historic travel destinations to bring your students. Nestled in beautiful Adams County, it offers breathtakingly scenic landscapes, wide-ranging outdoor activities, adventurous dining and—perhaps most famously—an unparalleled, firsthand look at our country’s dramatic and inspiring past.

Gettysburg’s many contemporary museums and intimate house tours offer a fascinating insight into every aspect of the Civil War. You’ll get to know the details of the conflict from an up-close perspective. Then, explore the story beyond the battlefield, discovering the local aftermath of the war, and enabling you to stand in the footsteps of everyday civilians whose lives were turned upside down by three fierce days of fighting in the place they called home. For those interested in other historic subjects, there are also exceptional museums specifically dedicated to both the Second World War and President Dwight D. Eisenhower, whose Gettysburg farm is a National Historic Site.

Take a guided downtown walking tour through the historically preserved area encircling Lincoln Square. Discover our nation’s gripping legacy at interactive attractions, state-of-the-art education centers, and virtual reality experiences.
