President Lincoln arrived at the Gettysburg railroad station on November 18, 1863. The following day he delivered the historic Gettysburg Address at the official dedication ceremony for the National Cemetery of Gettysburg. Overnight he stayed at the home of Gettysburg attorney David Wills.
On February 12, 2009, the 200th Anniversary of Lincoln's birthday, the David Wills house opened as a National Park Service Museum.1
