Gettysburg battle
Article Abstract:
A National Park Service development plan has been curtailed by opposition from two preservation groups for the Gettysburg National Military Park. Robert Kinsley, a private developer, proposed spending $40 mil on a visitor center and museum for the Park Service's painting of Pickett's Charge. Supporters of the plan believe the design of the museum will allow for better preservation of the park's collection of 43,000 artifacts.
