More importantly, the Gettysburg of today has been carefully preserved as a historical monument - the U.S. Park Service is continually making restoration efforts with the aid of a thriving historical community. As much as reasonably possible, the current-day Gettysburg and surrounding national park look like it was in 1864. That is, you can stand on the vast majority of the battlefield, and see an almost exact view as someone standing there in 1864 would have. They've re-done all the vegetation to match how it was. They've put back all the old fences and many of the old structures. They've prevented any modern buildings or changes to the scene.

Naturally, it's not 100% accurate, as people still live and work in the area. But, I'd say that the current Gettysburg National Military Park is at least 90% identical to the way it was when the battle was fought. It's a fantastic achievement, and one that greatly aids in the understanding of what went on, and why things happened. It's also almost unique in the world as far as the level of preservation goes.
