The Gettysburg Museum of the American Civil War

The National Park Service educates visitors through our world-class museum: The Gettysburg Museum of the American Civil War.

Archival Collection

The Park Service also maintains an extensive archival collection available to the general public in a reading room in the basement of the Museum and Visitor Center. Contact the Office of Museum Services for more information or permission to gain access.

McKenna Foundation Resource Room

The Park Service also maintains the McKenna Foundation Resource Room, which is a great way to find out if you are a descendent of 1 of the more than 3,000,000 men who fought in the Civil War, or 1 of the more than 160,000 men who fought at Gettysburg. Volunteers will help you chart out your family tree. Open seven days a week and free to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
