July 2022Nice little museum. They showed a wonderful film and the artifacts focus on the impact of the war on the town and its citizens. Lots of 3D films and pictures too. Some very interesting items, including part of a 200 year old tree with a bullet stuck in it.
May 2023
Lots of cool displays, but they make little to no use of the Picketts Charge display in the theater. Best selection of books in Gettysburg
December 2022
Even though I miss the old wax museum, the new Heritage Center is very nice. The gift shop is beautiful and clean and they often host different events on their lawn. Great and educational exhibits for the whole family.
