A cold morning light cuts across the undulating fields as you start at the Gettysburg Heritage Center. The car hums, the app cues its first voice, and the landscape—stone walls, low ridges, scattered monuments—begins to speak. You drive slowly along the Auto Tour Road, pause at observation towers, then step out for two short walking segments at Devil’s Den and Seminary Ridge where the rocks and trees seem to hold the echoes of orders and musketry.
