GDG- VC: How much time to allocate? Plus bookstores?

[JIM COOKE]

Alan, the new museum is almost overwhelming in terms of its content and presentation. In terms of time, you should allow 2-3 hours, but you probably won't get to study all the exhibits in detail. There may be areas where you could skim somewhat, and then come back another time for more examination. There are separate areas for each day of the battle, with a video presentation. In terms of other bookstores, the Farnsworth house store has a good collection.
Have fun!

Esteemed GDG Member Contributes:


Seeing as a number of people have by now had the chance to see the new 
VC, about how much time should one reasonably allocate to checking it 
out? I'm trying to jam some time in the schedule for this, and would 
like to get a feel for how much.

On a slightly different track, I've heard that the VC's "book" store 
isn't quite as good as the old one. What other places in Gettysburg 
offer good selections on detailed Gettysburg-related books?

Thanks again,
Alan
