One of the questions I have about this is rather simple in nature: Once 
the old visitor center has been taken down (assuming it is taken down), 
will efforts be made to get the area's terrain built up to match what 
was there before? I have read many comments concerning the topology 
today doesn't necessarily reflect what it was like in 1863 in multiple 
areas on the battlefield proper - for example, along Houck's Ridge, 
Little Round Top, Stony Hill or the areas over which Pickett & 
Pettigrew's men charged. Removing the existing facility will allow for 
cleaner lines of sight, but I'm assuming that there was probably some 
leveling off - either via removing and/or filling areas when the old 
visitor center was put up - will any effort be made to try to restore 
the contours of the area as well?
