Planned Giving

What is the Peace Light Legacy Program?

The history of Gettysburg and Adams County is built on the legacies of those who came before us. With the help of many generous supporters across the nation, Gettysburg History now has a proper home to share and preserve its vital community stories. By visiting Gettysburg History’s archives, library, event center, and two museums—Beyond the Battle and the Shriver House—millions of visitors and community members of all ages will continue to find inspiration from our shared past.

Planned Giving is a way to help ensure that the mission of Gettysburg History continues for generations to come. The Peace Light Legacy Program has been established to honor individuals who have committed to support Gettysburg History through deferred gifts, and who have informed us of their intentions.
