Virtual Gettysburg

Exhibits, Tours & Events / Virtual Gettysburg

Gettysburg has always been a source of inspiration, courage and devotion.

At the Gettysburg Foundation we're dedicated to ensuring it will always remain that way.

During these challenging times, we are continuing our mission to preserve these hallowed grounds and connect all generations to the lasting significance of the battle, the people and our "new birth of freedom."

While our Museum & Visitor Center is open, we have also put together a collection of resources to help bring Gettysburg to anyone who wishes to delay a visit to Gettysburg at this time.

We know nothing can replace the experience of actually viewing the Cyclorama, exploring the museum and touring the battlefield. But, we hope these few simple reminders will provide you with some inspiration until you are ready to once again visit Gettysburg.

We look forward to when we can welcome you back to Gettysburg.

Cyclorama Coloring Pages

Art of the Cyclorama

The iconic Gettysburg Cyclorama painting took French artist Paul Philippoteaux and his team of artists more than a year and a half to complete.

Now you can color your own masterpieces in a lot less time.

Just download these Cyclorama images and assemble your own team of artists to paint or color your own version of the famous painting.

Things to do Inside

#GettysburgGraphics

Draw the battlefield.

Cannons are among the most photographed items on the battlefield, and we want to see your own version of these classic works of art.

Draw this cannon - or have your own budding artist draw one - and post it to your favorite social media account with #GettysburgGraphics for all of us to safely enjoy.

Look for more #GettysburgGraphics until we can all return to the battlefield.
