Meet Our Leadership
Dale Dye
Advisory Board
Dale Dye is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran of Vietnam, honored with the Bronze Star with Valor and three Purple Hearts. He became a leading authority on bringing authentic military history to film and television, shaping landmark productions, such as Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers. Dye’s work continues to honor veterans by ensuring their stories are portrayed with accuracy, respect, and historical truth.
Our Vision
The Gettysburg Museum of History envisions a future where history is not only preserved but experienced, understood, and shared. Through the creation of a new, expanded 2,300-square-foot museum facility, we will build a space that connects visitors of all ages to the stories, artifacts, and individuals who shaped our nation — including the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War II, and modern conflicts.
Their Legacy is Our Mission.
Dick Winters in Holland
Before Their Voices Fade — Help Build Their Home in Pennsylvania
Major Dick Winters, one of Pennsylvania’s own, led with quiet courage and shaped the legacy of Easy Company. But every day, we lose more members of the Greatest Generation — and with them, irreplaceable stories of sacrifice and leadership.
Your support will help build a new museum wing that preserves their history, honors Winters, and keeps these stories alive for generations.
Their legacy is Our Mission – and the Time is Now
A message from our Board Chair, JD Huitt of the History Underground.
Every day, irreplaceable artifacts from America’s past sit unseen, waiting for a permanent home where their stories can be told. The Gettysburg Museum of History’s expansion will change that- creating new galleries, immersive exhibits, and educational spaces where visitors can connect personally with the man and women who shaped our nation.
