Gettysburg: Information and getting around
Gettysburg Travel Council , 35 Carlisle St (daily 8.30am-5pm; tel 717/334-6274), is housed in the tiny historic train depot where Lincoln disembarked in November 1863 and should be the first stop on any visit. Though the town is compact and easy to walk around, there is no public transportation, and a car helps when touring the huge battlefield. Bikes can be rented in the battleground at the campground at 610 Taneytown Rd (April-Oct; $15 half day, $25 full day; tel 717/334-1288). Two-hour Battlefield Bus Tours, running through the town and making numerous stops in the battlefield, depart from 778 Baltimore St (daily every 30min; $18.95; tel 717/334-6296).
