National Park Service rendering of the new Visitors Center, opening in April 2008.
For those Cannonball readers who have not yet seen the final floor plans for the new Gettysburg National Military Park Visitors Center between Taneytown Road and Baltimore Pike, have a look at this schematic from the National Park Service's website.
A compromise has recently been reached to settle the recent dispute over the location of the old Rosensteel memorial plaques that had been in the old Visitors Center (they were scheduled to be placed into storage instead on display in the new building). Rosensteel had donated his massive relic collection to the NPS, which forms the backbone of the current Visitors Center's museum. The red X on the floor plans marks where these controversial plaques will be displayed.
