While she couldn’t go into the visitor center she enjoyed hanging out by the statue of Lincoln and on the bench with one of us while the other went inside.

American history buffs won’t want to miss a trip to the Gettysburg National Military Park. Walk through the battlefield with Fido or take a driving tour of the historic sites commemorating the battle that became a major turning point in the Civil War. Although dogs are not permitted in park buildings, they can join you at most of the outdoor memorials. Be sure to visit the Irish Brigade monument, which depicts a loyal Irish Wolfhound mourning the loss of his masters. The park is open year-round from 6 am to 7 pm, with extended evening hours from April through October. There is no admission fee. After the park closes, you and your furry friend can continue exploring Gettysburg on a guided walk with Haunted Gettysburg Tours. Tours depart at 7:30 pm and 9 pm each evening.
Dogs aren't allowed in the visitor center, but we got out of the hot car and waited in the shade of the bookstore entrance side while we took turns inside. You'd have to ask if they're allowed at the outdoor patio with umbrella-covered tables outside the saloon. This picture was taken at the separate bathroom rest stop on the self-guided, car audio tour.
