Comments on: New Gettysburg Visitor Center Harming Local Businesses https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=816 Bringing obscurity into focus Thu, 11 Apr 2019 15:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.22 By: beetle_juice https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=816&cpage=1#comment-34361 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:36:17 +0000 http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=816#comment-34361 As an annual visitor to Gettysburg, I prefer the Battlefield, historic homes and museums to the little souvenier and junk shops on Steinwehr. If I had my druthers, they can all disappear, unless of course, the buildings themselves have some historical value. Am somewhat disappointed in what I’ve read about the new Visitor’s Center. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the historical artifacts that were on display in the old center, but it sounds as if they’ve been secreted elsewhere, if they’re not currently displayed. Where’d they go? Will I be disappointed later this month when I return?

Rarely do I frequent the little junk shops on Steinwehr Ave. but did venture there once for a Ghost Tour. Prefer the Battlefield and Historical houses and museums. Can’t wait to visit the new Visitor’s Center later this month. If it weren’t for the National Park Service and their dedication to preservation and historical accuracy, there would be little to draw us tourists to Gettysburg time and time again. If I had my druthers, all these little shops that hawk cheap Chinese trinkets would disappear, unless of course, the buildings may have some historical value.

But I am much more of a fan of the Visitor Center than any business on Steinwehr claiming to be a museum or place to learn about Gettysburg.

When last in the Peach Orchard I watched a “covey” of those two wheeled contraptions advanced across from Confederate Avenue. There’s a place and time for everything, but if you are on a CW battlefield, wouldn’t the horse be a better choice?

I hope you enjoy it.

I will be curious to hear your thoughts when you’ve finished it.

Boy, do I hope you’re wrong, but I fear you’re right.

I agree. Another friend described it as reminding him of a bus station.

I didn’t elaborate well. But for the battlefield, there would have been little reason for Levan to build his obnoxious Harley dealership, to inflict the bikers on the town, or to want to inflict his casino on the community. That’s the connection.
