A new special ticket promotion offers Gettysburg National Military Park visitors a special rate for entrance to the David Wills House and all-day rides on the trolley. For just $5.50 for adults and $4 for youths, visitors to the park Museum and Visitor Center can buy a ticket to the David Wills House in downtown Gettysburg and an all-day shuttle pass.
In addition, the trolleys serving the Lincoln line now have a new look with photos of the park Museum and Visitor Center, and the David Wills House, and the tagline “One Ride. Great Experiences.”
Trolleys are part of a new transportation system serving visitors and the local community in Gettysburg, Pa. The system is operated by the Adams County Transit Authority.
The special rate is one of several new ideas that are being put into place to increase ridership on the trolley. Main Street Gettysburg has been working with the National Park Service, Adams County Transit Authority, the Gettysburg Foundation, and the Borough of Gettysburg to find ways to increase ridership.
“There’s been a nice increase in the number of visitors taking advantage of the trolley to go into the town of Gettysburg,” said Deb Adamik, Main Street Gettysburg president.
The new ticket is only available at the Museum and Visitor Center at 1195 Baltimore Pike, Gettysburg, and it will remain on sale through the year.
The David Wills House is a new museum located in the heart of the historic district of Gettysburg that tells the story of the aftermath of the battle and President Abraham Lincoln’s visit to give the Gettysburg Address.
