The David Wills House is best known as the home where local resident and attorney David Wills hosted President Abraham Lincoln prior to delivering the Gettysburg Address. In the days and months following the Battle of Gettysburg, Wills managed the immense task of providing proper burials for the fallen soldiers and began planning for the Gettysburg Soldiers’ National Cemetery, which was dedicated Nov. 19, 1863 during Lincoln’s Gettysburg visit.
With historic rooms restored to their 1863 appearance, today’s David Wills House features an interactive National Park Service museum relating the story of Wills, Lincoln’s visit and the Gettysburg Address.
