Gettysburg
Az észak-amerikai kontinens legnagyobb katonai konfliktusának helyszíneként ismert pennsylvaniai Gettysburgot évente közel 1,5 millióan látogatják meg. És 2013-ban, a csata 150. évfordulóján a szakértők szerint 4 millió ember látogat el ebbe a 8000 fős kisvárosba, Pennsylvania középső részén.
Miközben az amerikai polgárháborús csata árnyéka itt is ott lebeg, Gettysburg az a hely, ahol Abraham Lincoln elmondta rövid, kétperces beszédét, a Gettysburgi beszédet, amely ma már a szónoklatok egyik legismertebb darabja. Gettysburg volt az egyetlen állandó otthona Dwight D. Eisenhower elnöknek is - a II. világháború szövetséges parancsnokának.
Gettysburg főutcáit gyönyörűen felújított történelmi házak, hangulatos üzletek, bájos éttermek és panziók szegélyezik.
