Gettysburg Self-Guided Tour: Walk America's Turning Point

Explore the most consequential battlefield in American history with our self-guided driving and walking audio tour, covering 40 stops across the three bloodiest days of the Civil War at your own pace. Drive the National Park Service Auto Tour route through 19 miles of hallowed ground, then walk where the soldiers fought — from the first cavalry clash at McPherson Ridge to the stone wall where Pickett's Charge shattered the Confederacy's last hope. Stand on Little Round Top where Chamberlain's bayonet charge saved the Union flank, peer into the boulder maze of Devil's Den, cross the mile of open ground that 12,000 men walked into devastating fire, and visit the National Cemetery where Lincoln's 272-word Gettysburg Address redefined what America means. Audio plays at each location and works fully offline — no cell service needed. The battlefield is free and open year-round. After this tour, Gettysburg will never be just a chapter in a textbook again.
