Stone breastworks built by the armies are still visible along the way. The one-mile trail takes about an hour to walk. Besides these trails, there are paths to Devil's Den and to the Point of Woods near the Virginia Memorial, and a self-guided tour through the National Cemetery. Park Rangers lead walks, give talks, and present programs at various locations on the battlefield to help you visualize the personal impact of past events. The Visitor Center and Gettysburg Museum of the Civil War has orientation displays, Civil War exhibits, current schedules of range-conducted programs, and the Electric Map presentation that shows, through the use of colored lights, troop movements during the battle.
Admission is charged for the map program.
