GETTYSBURG REMAINS OPEN, even with the government shut down! Gettysburg National Military Park is different from other national parks-
🍁First, the 6,000 acres of battlefields, which surround the Borough of Gettysburg, have always been open and free, as dozens of local roads intersect the park avenues.
🍁Second, the National Military Park Museum and Visitors Center is not owned by the government's Park Service. It is privately owned by the Gettysburg Foundation which operates the facility, so it will remain open.
🍁The Association of Gettysburg Battlefield Guides, which operates out of the Visitors Center, is also a separate entity so they will continue to offer private tours detailing the famous Battle of Gettysburg, (https://gettysburgtourguides.org).
🍁All the independent tours, museums, shops, hotels and restaurants will serve guests as they always do. Only the Park Service ranger programs and Eisenhower Home tour (grounds are still accessible) will not operate. So, the most popular battlefield areas and attractions remain open! For the latest visitor information and exciting fall events, go to www.destinationgettysburg.com.
🍁October, with its crisp, cool air and beautiful colors of changing leaves on our historic landscapes, is an ideal time to visit Gettysburg. We look forward to welcoming you!
