Gettysburg, Penn.

Robert E. Lee's daring invasion of the north came to a stunning end around this small town in central Pennsylvania in early July of 1863. The battlefield cemetery was the place where Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. A new $135-million visitor center and museum opened in April 2008. Tour the battlefield a la carte with a Podcast downloaded to your iPod or MP3 player, join a Segway tour, or hire an official Licensed Battlefield Guide.
