They were out looking for shoes…many experts say that a need for proper footwear drove those members of the Army of Northern Virginia into that small country town. And the aftermath of that chance meeting draws millions every year back to that small country town in south central Pennsylvania.
It’s easy to get here…whether you follow Lee or Meade!
Gettysburg is located in south central Pennsylvania, at the intersection of Routes 15 and 30. If you’re coming from the north or south, take Route 15 to get here. From the east or west, take the Pennsylvania Turnpike to Route 15 south, or take Route 30 to get to America’s Greatest Battlefield.
