i have a trivia question about the current Gettysburg, i hope this falls within the rules of the game...

if you ever get to visit, there's a diorama to check out that's horribly mislabeled in a newly-renovated historical building within Gettysburg. In what building is the misleading diorama located?
It's a horribly mislabeled diorama in the newly renovated David Wills House. :)

Actually we didn't get a chance to go in the Wills house.. We drove through Lincoln Square several times, but never got out. I knew about the diorama from a Gettysburg Daily article. :)

That's right. Nice!

I had the pleasure of a personal tour of the property while I was there a few weeks ago. There are actual carvings made by confederate soldiers in the wood of the barn. There is also a artillery shell lodged in one of the beams. Very cool stuff. :)
