COVID-19 Update: Gettysburg's visitor center and its museum are open, as are the park grounds. Bus tours are operating again, but park ranger tours remain suspended. The Eisenhower National Historic Site is open, but the Eisenhower Home is closed. The David Willis House and Lincoln Railroad Station in town are also closed. Check the park website for updates.
