The historic station will welcome guests on Dedication Day, Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., in remembrance of the anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and the dedication of Gettysburg National Cemetery.

Originally opened in 1859, the Gettysburg Lincoln Railroad Station served as a vital hub during the American Civil War—transporting supplies, evacuating the wounded and later welcoming returning soldiers, visitors and dignitaries, including President Lincoln himself. Today, it stands as a powerful symbol of resilience and reflection, offering visitors a unique look into Gettysburg’s wartime and postwar history.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the station features interpretive exhibits, historic artifacts and a detailed model depicting the building as it appeared in 1863.

Located at 35 Carlisle Street in downtown Gettysburg, the Gettysburg Lincoln Railroad Station will observe winter hours through April 30, 2026.
