<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1296084, member: 11521&quot;]You should allow a full day or more for a visit to Gettysburg so you can see everything and take it all in. I spent a little over a day at Gettysburg. I got to Gettysburg about 4:30 PM the first day and headed straight for the Visitor Center. There I found out some important information so I could plan the next day. I also hit the bookstore and bought some reading material to make my visit more educational. </p><p><br /></p><p>The next morning I arrived at the Visitor Center at 8 AM and bought a ticket for the museum, cyclorama and a guided bus tour. I watched the free movie and went to the cyclorama. I don&#039;t think they give you enough time to fully take in everything at the cyclorama. </p><p><br /></p><p>The two-hour bus tour was excellent. The guide knew everything one could know about the battle and he really made the tour interesting. I highly recommend taking the bus tour if you go to Gettysburg. Even better (or so I was told), you can hire the guides to give you a tour of the battlefield in your own car. </p><p><br /></p><p>After the bus tour I bought a CD so I could do my own guided tour in my car. It was very similar to the guided bus tour but this time I got to stop and see things in more detail and at my own pace. Doing the tour twice (bus tour and on my own) really helped me understand the events much better. I didn&#039;t spend much time at all at the museum because I simply did not have enough time. Next time I will allow a few hours for the museum. </p><p><br /></p><p>The next day I toured Antietam and returned to Gettysburg at the end of the day so I could tour the cemetary and see where Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
