  We had not planned on stopping here but our tour of the battlefield was cancelled because of snow. They were open and it was a great experience! Glad we were able to spend time there. Friendly service.

  This Center provides a somewhat different perspective than the Military Park, although the story told is much the same. Here, one sees photos in 3D and learns of the experiences of the townspeople. Horrendous! The Center was not officially open, so not all the exhibits were complete or installed. The selection of books, especially for research -- or if you know of a particular regiment you want to research -- was very good. Worth a visit.

  The new Gettysburg Heritage Center offers an exciting new experience for visitors. The use of 3D photos and themed realistic.scenes makes for an informative and entertaining visit,,focusing on Gettysburg before, during, and after the battle. Even better is the preservation of the iconic final wax figure battle theater scene - with a new well-done Gettysburg movie - from its old days as the National Civil War Wax Museum. Definitely worth a visit!

  Since I had very good memories of the old Wax Museum, I was a bit leery of this new museum that has taken its place. I was very pleasantly surprised. This museum is well laid out, with impressive replica facades of some well-known buildings from around Gettysburg. Extremely well-produced video presentations brought the battle experience to life. Particularly impressive is the emphasis on the first-hand narratives of the local citizens who suddenly found themselves in the middle of America's largest battle. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed my visit.

  This is a wonderful place to learn about the history of Gettysburg. The workers there were very pleasant and helpful during the snow storm. I would highly recommend a visit to this center.

  As a local, we highly recommend visiting the Heritage Center for its updated experience. Where the Visitor Center focuses on the Soldiers of the Civil War, the Heritage Center speaks about the residents of the town of Gettysburg. Best gift shop, too, and much cheaper than the Visitors Center. Rent the Ipad tour of the Battlefield while you are there.

  This diorama in the Heritage center is a free gem which you can see at anytime in your visit to give you an overview of the entire battle. The set-up was so life like that I thought part of the diorama were actually people watching it.

  I highly recommend a visit to the Heritage Center for anyone coming into Gettysburg or even for those who live here. I have lived in Gettysburg for 12 years and have driven past the center thousands of times, but never went in. My son and I went in last friday and got a tour. It was fabulous. The inside is was beautiful, the layout was great, but the information was amazing. The center focuses on the citizens of Gettysburg after the war and what happened to them and the town. There were video presentations, some in 3D which my son loved, great replicas of the town itself along with real artifacts. The information on the walls and the videos were great and kept my sons attention throughout. I highly recommend the Heritage Center for all ages. There is so much to do and see.
