Gettysburg Beyond the Battle Museum

Beyond the Battle Museum tells the remarkable story of Gettysburg civilians and their extraordinary experiences before, during, and after the Civil War. Through twelve interactive exhibit galleries packed with rare artifacts, the museum, recently named USA Today’s “Best New Museum,” explores the story of Gettysburg like you’ve never seen or heard it before.

Don’t miss Caught in the Crossfire, the museum’s premier exhibit. Crossfire is an immersive experience that uses cutting-edge technology to place visitors inside a meticulously reconstructed farmhouse during the Battle of Gettysburg. Written by New York Times bestselling author Jeff Shaara, the script vividly brings to life what it was like for one Gettysburg family to be overrun by invading forces and trapped behind enemy lines during this harrowing event.
