What should we update?

Type of correction Required

What the archive currently says

Status: Open to the public
The Museum and Visitor Center is the central starting point for Gettysburg battlefield interpretation, with exhibits and visitor services. Its NPS collection once hosted a documented six-month Medal of Honor spotlight exhibition during 2016. That exhibition has ended and the Archive does not assert that the named medals are on display today.
The Medal of Honor spotlight was explicitly a six-month exhibit beginning April 2016. Confirm any new exhibit directly.
The 2016 exhibit contained six medals but NPS named five recipients; do not invent an identity for the sixth.
Review Gettysburg Foundation museum hours and timed-entry policies before travel.
Map pin is located on the named museum feature; use official visitor directions for parking, gates, and accessible entrances.
