    Visit historic Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, whose three-day battle in July 1863 is known as the turning point of the Civil War. It was here that the Union victory ended General Robert E. Lee’s second and most ambitious invasion of the North, and it was the inspiration for President Abraham Lincoln’s immortal Gettysburg Address.
