Create an itinerary including Gettysburg Museum of History

Get a sense of Americana from the broad, diverse collection at Gettysburg Museum of History, housing artifacts from the Civil War and World Wars I and II, as well as items associated with U.S. presidents and pop icons. Made famous by the popular television show "American Pickers," the museum is owned and curated by passionate collector Erik L. Dorr. See Civil War memorabilia, such as a frock coat and carbine rifle, as well as some rather bizarre relics, including a lock of Marilyn Monroe's hair and a portion of a car seat stained with JFK's blood. See Gettysburg Museum of History and all Gettysburg has to offer by arranging your trip with our Gettysburg online travel route planner.

Interesting museum in Gettysburg (not just Civil war history). It is one man's collection and is free, so make a donation or buy something from the gift shop.
