- Gettysburg National Military Park – Gettysburg
Trip Advisor/Management
Trip Advisor/Courtney O. Known for its brilliant sunrises and sunsets, Gettysburg National Military Park promises a beautiful way to start the day. It’s even been named as having one of the best sunrises in the United States. Catch a gorgeous sunrise before you do a bit of exploring. Start your visit at the Visitors Center and Museum, where you’ll get a good overview of the Battle of Gettysburg and learn more about this historic town. Wear comfortable walking shoes, too, because you’ll want to explore a bit of the park – including Devil’s Den and Gettysburg National Cemetery – during your visit. Be forewarned, however, that the town, including the battlefield, is teeming with the paranormal. Learn why Gettysburg is known as the most haunted town in Pennsylvania.
