Visitor Center (2008-Present)

Gettysburg’s current visitor center opened on April 14, 2008. There are entrances to the Visitor Center along both the Baltimore Pike and the Taneytown Road. The Visitor Center is visible from the Culp’s Hill Tower.

The new visitor center was built at a cost of $130 million. The new building is designed to resemble a 19th century barn, with a stone face for the visitor center and red planks for the attached building which houses the famous cyclorama painting. (The Cyclorama was unveiled in September 2008).
