Today we visited the National Military Park Visitor Center in Gettysburg. This is an amazing place and we spent about 4 hours there. Yvonne and I visited Gettysburg in June 2006, but this is a new visitor center which opened in 2008. Inside there are three things that are a must see. 1. The film "A New Birth of Freedom", 2. The Cyclorama Painting and 3. The Interpretive Museum. The picture of the painting does not do it justice and only shows a small portion. The painting was done after the Civil War and is displayed in a complete circle. You feel like you are right in the middle of the Battle of Gettysburg. The battle here was the deciding point of the Civil War. Tomorrow we will visit the battlefields.
