From the Battlefield to the Cyclorama: A Photographic Journey

Ford Education Center | Double Decker Bus | Cyclorama Platform
Step into the origins of the iconic Gettysburg Cyclorama in this new, immersive program. Begin with William Tipton’s 1882 photographs—created to guide the artists—then travel into the field by double decker bus to stand at the exact vantage point where they were taken.
From a recreated elevated perspective, photograph the landscape yourself and experience the view that shaped the painting. The program concludes on the Cyclorama platform, where you’ll compare your images to the finished work and see how the battlefield was interpreted into one of Gettysburg’s most powerful visual narratives.
Led by Licensed Battlefield Guide and Cyclorama expert Chris Brenneman.
Bring a camera. Space is limited.
