Directions
Visitors arriving from the north and south can use US 15. From the east and west, visitors can use US 30. Shuttle buses to the site depart from the Gettysburg National Military Park Visitor Center, approximately one mile south of Gettysburg on SR 134 (Taneytown Road), and US 15 business route (Steinwehr Avenue). Due to a lack of on-site parking and space limitations in the Eisenhower home, visits can only be made by a shuttle bus leaving from the Gettysburg National Military Park Visitor Center. The Center opens at 8:00 a.m. Tickets may be purchased on a first come, first served basis for the next available tour.
