Beyond the Battle Museum

The stories of Gettysburg told from a new perspective.
Museum
The town of Gettysburg and the people who lived there before, during, and after the Civil War are often overshadowed by the notorious battle that took place at its crossroads.

The Beyond the Battle Museum provides visitors the opportunity to experience significant moments in the town’s history from the perspective of those who lived through them. Caught in the Crossfire, the museum’s signature experience, places visitors inside a fully enclosed, reconstructed farmhouse to witness the Battle of Gettysburg from the perspective of one local family.

A powerful 11.2 audio mix, choreographed with rattling floorboards and lighting effects, takes visitors on a multi-sensory journey as the chaos grows and intensifies.

A visceral experience.

In the Colonial Conversations Tavern, guests are transported back to colonial America where an immersive audio experience allows them to eavesdrop on various conversations as men and women discuss significant issues of the day.
