The 3,500 acre Military Park is a national park that includes the battlefields of the most decisive and bloodiest conflict of the Civil War.

Continue your historic journey at the Cyclorama Center, which has exhibits, a free film, and the Cyclorama itself--a monumental painting-in-the-round by Paul Phillippoteaux of General Pickett's charge, the last ditch effort of the Confederate forces before their retreat; the multimedia presentation includes a sound and light program

The local merchants welcomeyou to browse through an array of antiques,clothing, craft, book and art stores.
