I'm sorry to hear you did not get to tour our museum, however, I think there may be some confusion on what you booked. Our tickets are for a self-guided tour of our Gettysburg Heritage Center Museum. We do not offer tour guides for our Museum experience as is outlined on the ticket you purchase. In addition, our operating hours are 10 am - 4 pm, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday until 6 pm. I would like to speak to you about your experience to gain a better understanding of the issue. Your experience is very important to us, as we want every visitor to have an enjoyable time when visiting our museum. Please reach out to me at 717-334-6245. Thank you, Stephanie

With this being our first trip to Gettysburg, this Center and Museum was one of the best resources for detailed summary of the 3 day battle and events. We loved the movie and other personal stories depicted. Great gift store also. Very reasonable admission.

All the displays are laid out so perfectly. They are very informative. The 3d movies were a nice touch. The cellar movie was the most memorable. It has a little extra to the dislay. The staff and gift shop were amazing! We loved the entire experience.

Loved the interactive videos and the cellar experience. The video at the end with the mannequins was very informative. A small taste of the terror at the time.
