New Museum and Visitor Center in Gettysburg



This is the first of a series of pages we'll be doing about Gettysburg. The plan is to have four pages that will join together, in addition to this one. The pages will run each weekend in June leading up to the anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in July. This page shows highlights from the new visitor center. The floor plan took me quite a while to get it just right. But one exciting thing about this assignment: I got to travel to the center along with the reporter and photographer on this story. It was helpful to be able to see the space so that I could create the graphic a little better. And we also got kind of a "behind the scenes" look at the cyclorama painting. It is still in the process of be restored, and it was amazing to see the painting up close and also to see the crew working on it with huge lifts.
