Gettysburg
the Civil War battlefield town on the Pennsylvania stretch
Gettysburg is one of the places Roamward flags on the The Lincoln Highway (US 30) because it gives the drive its texture: the Civil War battlefield town on the Pennsylvania stretch. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
How it fits the drive
The Lincoln Highway runs Times Square, NY → Lincoln Park, San Francisco, CA. America’s first coast-to-coast road.
Nearby route stops
- Times Square — the highway’s official eastern terminus in Manhattan (Lincoln Highway)
- Lincoln Highway across Nebraska — more original Lincoln Highway miles than any other state, beside US 30 (Lincoln Highway)
