The 1858 brick station on Carlisle Street was used as a field hospital during and after the battle and as the point of arrival for Lincoln when he came to dedicate the cemetery. It now operates as a small museum and visitor information centre with exhibits on the station's role in the battle.
Free entry, open during the warmer months and during major anniversaries. The waiting room with its original benches and woodstove is worth ten minutes' walk-through.
