<p>[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 1295366, member: 11521"]This was my first visit to Gettysburg so I never saw the old Visitor Center. On my visit I learned that a new Visitor Center (which includes a museum and cyclorama) was built in a new location on land that was not historically significant and in a location that does not detract from a visitor's battlefield experience. The exterior of the new Visitor Center was designed to blend into the landscape by using materials similar to those that were used by other buildings at the time of the battle. The new Visitor Center opened in 2009 and was built at a cost of over $100 million. </p><p><br /></p><p>The cyclorama is very nice but they don't give you much time to enjoy it. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]144851.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]144850.vB[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]144852.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]144853.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
