The home of Gettysburg attorney David Wills was the center of the immense clean-up process after the Battle of Gettysburg and where President Lincoln put the finishing touches on his Gettysburg Address. The museum features six galleries, including two rooms that have been restored to their 1863 appearance: Wills' office, where he planned for a Soldiers' National Cemetery after the battle; and the bedroom where Lincoln stayed and prepared the Gettysburg Address. Admission to the Wills House is free.
Getting there
The David Wills House is located on Lincoln Square in downtown Gettysburg. Parking is available at the Gettysburg Municipal Parking Garage on Race Horse Alley or you can take the Freedom Transit Shuttle from the Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Center.
1991–2020 averages from the nearest NOAA station, 1.8 mi away — not measured at the facility itself, and elevation can make a real difference over that distance.
