About Gettysburg & the Area
Gettysburg, the battlefield & how to find us
Everything you need to plan a visit — the park, the ground our tours cover, where to meet us on 100 Sample Street, parking, driving directions, and the towns we serve.
The Battlefield
Where the Battle of Gettysburg was fought
<p>The Battle of Gettysburg was fought July 1–3, 1863, across the ridges, fields, and hills that surround the borough of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Today that ground is preserved as Gettysburg National Military Park, with more than 1,300 monuments spread across roughly 6,000 acres. Our tours are designed to make sense of that landscape — not just the maps, but the actual rises and swales where the fighting turned.</p>

On the Ground
Ridges, rocks, and downtown streets.
The same licensed historians walk daylight ridges and civilian streets after dark.
Seminary & Cemetery Ridge
Two long parallel ridges shaped the battle. The Highlights Walking Tour crosses Cemetery Ridge and McPherson Ridge to connect all three days into a single, walkable story.
Little Round Top & Devil’s Den
At the southern end of the field, the high ground of July 2 and the boulders below it. The ridge hike climbs this rugged terrain with time among the rocks.
Downtown & the Wills House
Lincoln Square is the civic heart of town. The evening lantern walk winds these streets after dark, pairing wartime accounts with the buildings where they happened.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Our guide made three days of history feel like one afternoon. My kids still talk about Little Round Top.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
The lantern walk was genuinely moving, not gimmicky. Every stop tied back to a real name and letter.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Booked the bus tour for my in-laws who can't walk far. Comfortable, well-paced, and still packed with detail.
