Me and my friend took my son to Gettysburg 20 years ago.. Spent the first day on the battle field and the official tour route.
The second day we visited all the surrounding areas like the cavalry battle area, the houses used as hospitals and a lot of the battle markers put up by groups after the battle but before it became an official preservation site and park.
A lot of veteran groups put up markers at places they thought or remembered their units fighting from. Most were off on the locations.

Agree. Masterful national park, but Gettysburg is one of the most melancholic places in the US. Antietam close behind.

I have visited a number of Civil War battlefields, from the Mississippi River to the Seaboard, some altered almost beyond recognition by CCC efforts in the 1930’s. Looking across the distance of open field the Confederate Army advanced across under heavy fire to assault the Union position at Gettysburg, . . . breath-taking.
