Their Legacy Is Our Mission — And We Need You Now

Hundreds of priceless artifacts from World War I, World War II, Easy Company, and Major Dick Winters are waiting for a permanent home. Our two-phase expansion will create new, modern exhibit spaces and immersive educational experiences that bring these stories to life for students, families, and future generations.

But this vision can only become reality with your immediate support. Every donation, from $25 to $25,000, helps protect these treasures, build new interactive galleries, expand hands-on learning opportunities, and keep the Gettysburg Museum of History free and accessible to all.

Donate Now. Be Part of the Mission.
