Civil War Tails at the Homestead Diorama Museum — Attraction in Gettysburg

This is a must see! We had it on our list of must dos in Getttysburg, and honestly, I would have driven the 10 hours just for this. It is detailed, educational, and unlike anything you've ever seen. Also, cats. Rebecca, one of the two owners and model builders, was happy to answer questions and tell us about the dioramas.

Parking along the street or across the street by the bus tour building. About two buildings down from the cemetery. Hope to...

Very well thought out from the placement of each individual figure as to who they are representing... everything down to even the rocks I just had thought put into it in order to be a true representation. Mini handmade displays with some still work in progress so when you come back it'll be more to see. My parents have a book about it but if you come in to visit you'll get to talk with the actual owners and creators and they'll talk to you all about their thought process and art process of creating these and are very knowledgeable about the...
