Today, it still characterizes the city as a whole. The well-preserved battlefield is the biggest attraction to Gettysburg and can be viewed through a multitude of tours, including bicycle, horseback and segway tours. There are many more Civil War related attractions spread across the city, such as the house in which Lincoln wrote the infamous Gettysburg Address, the headquarters of General Lee's army, and several museums with exhaustive insights into the war and those who fought valiantly. If you are a history buff, there is a multi-state tour of the campaign that culminated in the Battle of Gettysburg, which begins in Brandy Station, Virginia and continues through Maryland before landing in Gettysburg. A great way to orient yourself in town is to make a quick stop by the Visitor’s Center and then dive into the fun of the rest of the city.
