Historic Battlefields Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour Bundle

Once you've downloaded the tour, your Gettysburg tour begins at the Gettysburg Heritage Center. As you drive toward your first major landmark, you'll get an overview of the war, the leadup to the battle, and the dawning of the first bloody day. Then you'll reach McPherson Ridge, where Union forces mounted their first defense against Confederate assault.

After that is the infamous Railway Cut, where a tactical error led to a bloodbath. At the Eternal Light and Peace Memorial, next, you can take a moment to reflect on the reuniting of the country. Then, you'll head to an Observation Tower where you can get a birds eye view of the battlefield. You'll enter the second day of the battle as you drive through the Pitzer Woods. Then you'll see Warfield Ridge, where General Longstreet staged a dramatic assault.

Get introduced to the third and final day of battle as you wind toward the High Water Mark of the Confederacy, supposedly indicating the closest the rebels ever came to winning the war. Hear the dramatic events of Pickett's Charge and find out how the whole battle finally came to an end.

Next, visit the Soldiers' National Cemetery, where the Union men who gave their lives for their country are honored. While you're here, you'll have the opportunity to listen to a rendition of the famous Gettysburg Address, as delivered by Abraham Lincoln following the battle. Your tour concludes here.
