Gettysburg Civil War Diorama Museum Admission

See the American Civil War through a playful yet carefully researched lens at the Civil War Tails Diorama Museum in Gettysburg. Every hand-sculpted miniature soldier is a cat, while the scenes bring real people and pivotal moments to life with historical detail.

Wander through to-scale displays depicting Pickett’s Charge and Little Round Top at Gettysburg, the clash between the ironclads USS Monitor and CSS Virginia, and the bombardment of Fort Sumter. You’ll also encounter lesser-known actions and discover why Japanese samurai appear in a Civil War museum. The self-guided visit lets you explore at your own pace, and the diorama creators are on hand to answer questions and share insights into their work.

This admission ticket offers a memorable way to connect with Civil War history, whether you’re drawn by the battles, the craftsmanship, or the unexpected feline cast. Visit the Civil War Tails Diorama Museum in Gettysburg and see these miniature stories up close.
