The Gettysburg National Military Park protects and interprets the landscape of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. The park is managed by the National Park Service. The GNMP properties include most of the Gettysburg Battlefield, many of the battle's support areas during the battle (e.g., reserve, supply, & hospital locations), and several other non-battle areas associated with the battle's "aftermath and commemoration," including the Gettysburg National Cemetery. Many of the park's 43,000 American Civil War artifacts are displayed in the Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Center. The Park is undergoing an ongoing restoration to make it look like it was just before the Battle.

8/4/25. Machine 7 is out of order.
Other penny machine is operational. ????
What did the rolled pennies look like??? Long, short, off-center, full rolls???

8/7/25: I believe the narrative description of backstamps for retired machine 2 actually describes the obverse designs for retired #3. Retired #2 all have the Gettysburg National Military Park logo as shown in the photo. jnm
7/22/26 Machine 8 had a sign posted on it saying it was broken.
