The Gettysburg Diorama

You can see the entire 3 day battle unfold

watching both the Union and Confederate movements

over 6,000 acres in 1863.

 This is the actual city of Gettysburg.

 This diorama has over 20,000 handpainted soldiers, horses, cannons,

and buildings that took 5 men, 5 years to complete.

 This is from one end to the other.

 It portrays all the battle sites and scenes

and there is a 30 minute presentation with lights and sounds

that explains what's going on.

 I did the best I could here with lights and glass.

Not your friend.

 The diorama is very realistic.

 The houses that were in the battlefield 

were used as headquarters and staging areas.

A must see in order to really see the magnitude and

devastation this battle was to both sides.
