This field trip is organized in support of the themed competition on May 18th 2010--Monuments, memorials, and statues. Visitors to Gettysburg National Military Park take home a wealth of memories in the many photographs and images taken of the park and national cemetery. The park not only commemorates the war's bloodiest battle with 51,000 casualties and President Abraham Lincoln's most famous address. It also offers a natural and cultural setting that exhibits the beauty and simplicity of this portion of Pennsylvania

The Self-guided Auto Tour can be followed by using the park brochure that will direct you through the park. On the tour route there are numbered stops at highpoints of the battle and visitors can take their time in stopping to view the monuments and field exhibits. Directional tour signs will take you through the park to visit the important highlights of the three-day battle. There is no charge for the Self-guided Auto Tour.
