Hall of Presidents

The Hall of Presidents and First Ladies features the area’s only complete wax collection of American Presidents and their first ladies, as well as a beautiful gift shop. The Hall of Presidents is located across the street from the Gettysburg Tour Center and next to the main entrance of the National Cemetery.

It is incredible to be able to see what our Presidents really looked like and to hear the words attributed to them as if the words came from the very lips of the figures themselves. Our wax museum of the nation’s former executives is complete with beautiful background murals showing the development of America, which are the work of Charles Morganthaler. Morganthaler is one of our country’s truly great contemporary artists and his art can also be seen on the Cylclorama, painted in the early 1960’s prior to its move from the 1913 building across the street, to the Mission 1966 Building on the battlefield.
