If you ask a historian what Gettysburg is most famous for, nine out of ten will say one thing: Pickett’s Charge. And if you visit the national military park today, you can actually walk Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg yourself, retracing that fateful, doomed assault.
If all you do is drive this circuit, it will take you about two hours to see the whole battlefield, but I’d recommend setting aside at least twice that amount of time if you really want to experience the battlefield, or an entire day if you’re a real history buff!
