the soldiers national cemetery at gettysburg印象

This cemetery is peaceful and serene. I just wish that the masonic memorial was easier to get to from the main cemetery.

It was buried under snow when we visited, but the 6-year-old wanted to see the cemetery after watching the film at the Visitors' Center. It was still a good learning experience because she asked a lot of questions and had fun trying to brush snow from the in-ground stones so she could read them.

we went in February 2015 the whole area was covered in snow, the size of the batterfield is enormous. we drive around in our car and stopped at all the memorials.very good

A very humbling place to visit. It is very well maintained, as it should be, and peaceful. Worth stopping.
-
We visited after taking a battlefield tour and it was pouring rain but so glad we did it. I think the rain added to the moment. Very somber. So much was gave. A bit of history never to be forgotten.

I visit the battlefield every trip I make to Gettysburg. Every American should tour the Battlefield at the site of the battle that saved the Nation.

Walk through this cemetery and you feel the sacrifice these men and boys made for our country. Just walk past the "unknown" grave markers and you feel such awe and sadness. Memorial day weekend, the flags at each marker...powerfull.

This is it, the reason why the most famous speech in U.S. history was given. With rare exception (such as General Collis, who's vicage forever looks toward his relatively close home on South Confederate Avenue) the markers of the men who lost their lives here or fought with those who did and wanted to be buried here are the same size, facing upward with names inscribed, or in all too many cases, shown as "UNKNOWN". The Soldiers National Cemetery, like other National Soldiers Cemeteries throughout the country, also has had burials from military men of all wars and their families. Besides the headstones, there are a handful of battle monuments located here, such as the Soldier's Monument, the Lincoln Gettysburg Address Monument, New York State Monument, Kentucky State Monumnet and one of two monumentsto Major General John Reynolds. It has been determined that Lincoln did not actuyally deliver the address in the Soldiers Cemetery but did so in the adjoining Evergreen Cemetery.

Stopping at the tombs and reading their names makes you think about what was going on at the time. You can take your time going through the cemetery and trying to see it all in one day is very hard.

Only because we planned a history trip for two weeks on the east coast and the day after arriving in Washington D.C. the lovely Government decided to shut all parks, museums, monuments, etc. down. Would have loved to spend a couple of days at Gettysburg.A very expensive trip gone south.Also this site won't let me go back to the original month/year
