General Lee's Headquarters- Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

The first place we visited when we arrived in Gettysburg was General Lee's Headquarters.  I really wanted to check the place out, because the home, and the area around it has been totally restored to the way it would have looked at the time of the battle.  A museum had been inside of the structure for a very long time, AND retail establishments had been built up right around it.

Thanks to the Civil War Trust, an organization that I donate to and am a proud member, the house has been fully restored.  For more info, go here.

They have done a great job.  The area felt... well, just more open.

The HQ itself just feels so much more representative of Gettysburg, 1863.  Before, with a hotel and restaurant nearby you couldn't FEEL the landscape.  Standing at the building now, on the property....  you can really GET the vibe going on.
