ACHS Website

Dear Friends - this is a very exciting time for Gettysburg and Adams County!

Last week, we learned that ACHS will receive a $2 million grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to help complete our new home. This incredible news comes after months of hard work and bipartisan leadership from local and state officials. Thank you to our three fantastic County Commissioners, and to the Governor and his staff, all of whom recognized the importance of this project!

And just this morning, we received more amazing news! For the second year in a row, ACHS topped the list of nonprofits participating in the annual Giving Spree, raising nearly $800,000 in just one day and surpassing 1,000 total donors to the project.

Thanks to YOU, we've reached a major milestone - $8 million raised and over 80% of our fundraising goal met, all in less than one year! This means we can do the following:

Continue on schedule with construction of our new home, saving millions of historic items in our collection that are currently stored in unsafe conditions.

Open a world-class museum with stories, artifacts, and experiences like you've never seen before.

Create programs, events, classes, and tours that take you deeper into the history of this incredible place.

And so much more!
