Gettysburg tower plan sparks heated debate over history site
At Gettysburg National Military Park a proposed one million dollar hyperbolic tower above the historic ground draws powerful criticism from National Park Service Director Hartzog and Senator Scott. Proponents say it would educate visitors while opponents call it an environmental insult and intrusive to Eisenhower's farm views. The site sits near the park and several commercial establishments along Steinwehr Avenue.
