The Gettysburg Cyclorama is a painting- in-the-round that includes both lighting and sound effects. It stretches more than a football field in length and stands taller than a two-story building! The Cyclorama depicts Pickett’s Charge, the climactic event of the Gettysburg battle, and places attendees in the heart of the action.
In addition, the museum features arti- facts from the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War.
“With the perfect blend of history, ele- gance and convenience, Gettysburg National Museum and Visitor Center is the ideal location for a meeting, confer- ence or private event,” exclaimed Debbie Joyner, facility events and rentals manager for the Gettysburg Foundation.
“From intimate meeting spaces to dra- matic banquet halls, the museum and
visitor center offers state-of-the-art con- veniences paired with rustic, yet refined architecture inspired by the past. Our facilities can be tailored to provide a one-of-a-kind experience in Gettysburg, and our professional consultants will work with planners to make their event historic,” she added.
On the National Register of Historic Places, Gettysburg Lincoln Railroad Station™ is located downtown and fea- tures three galleries of exhibits housed within its period-restored facility.
Joyner noted that this site, best known as the railroad station where President Lincoln arrived more than a century- and-a-half ago to deliver the Gettysburg Address, is perfect for hosting corporate events, networking, business develop- ment meetings, kick-off campaigns and closing receptions for events. With accommodations for up to 200 guests, depending on configuration, on-site
consultants work with planners to make every event held here memorable.
Collectively, these venues have hosted companies and organizations, such as the PA Chamber of Commerce; Bayer Corporation; County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania; University of Maryland; PA Bar Association; the Austin Healey Club USA; Corvette Club of America; and many other groups.
