Lincoln Square & Downtown Gettysburg
Lincoln Square
A circular square at the centre of town, surrounded by 19th-century brick buildings, cafés, souvenir shops and antiquarian bookshops.
This is the heart of Gettysburg. Around the central green stand the David Wills House, an old hotel and many small shops. To the south, York Street, Baltimore Street and Steinwehr Avenue are lined with restaurants, military souvenir shops and the meeting points for ghost tours. Many old buildings still bear bullet holes from the battle, and historical markers are displayed on their walls. Free parking in town is limited, so it is best to park at the Visitor Center and take the free summer shuttle or walk for about 20 minutes.
