Main Street Gettysburg is implementing the Gettysburg Interpretive
Plan, a comprehensive plan created by the leaders of this community
that builds upon the historical identity of the town and provides
opportunity for economic growth and prosperity to the community.
Enhancing the Visitor Experience
The Gettysburg Interpretive
Plan • In 1998 the Borough of Gettysburg and the
Gettysburg National Military Park initiated the Gettysburg
Interpretive Plan (GIP) project as part of the Gettysburg
Historic Pathway Plan. Main Street Gettysburg was assigned
a lead role in building community partnerships and developing
the interpretive plan. As a result, an agreement was signed
uniting several diverse local organizations and two Commonwealth
agencies. The GIP examined local history, identified historic
sites and resources, and created a master plan for interpreting
the town’s history with the goal of deepening and extending
the visitor experience. A brief
summary of the GIP is also available.
