Gettysburg History is your gateway to a growing network of museums, historic sites, educational programs, and unforgettable experiences that bring one of America’s most meaningful places to life.
From immersive exhibits and rare artifacts to guided tours, digital projects, and the Gettysburg Film Festival, we’re here to share the full story of Gettysburg — not just the battle, but the people, ideas, and moments that helped shape a nation.
Launched in 2025, Gettysburg History brings these diverse experiences together under one name to better serve visitors, learners, and supporters from across the country and around the world. Gettysburg History is an initiative of the Adams County Historical Society, the nonprofit organization that has preserved and shared the history of this community for more than 130 years.
