I just got home after a week in Gettysburg.  I rented a farmhouse on Taneytown Rd. right behind Little Round Top.  Anyway, my opinion of the new Visitor's Center is that I actually liked the old one better.  I preferred the exhibits in the old one.  The new museum includes too many things, from John Brown through the entire war--I thought it was just too much and preferred it when it was just on the Gettysburg battle.   Also, the glass was hard to see through for some reason.  I had a hard time seeing the exhibits because of a glare and to see some items I had to stoop down.  ( I even found an error on something written about the 1st Minnesota).  I absolutely agree that it is too spread out with too much wasted space, although I will admit that most "modern" buildings, and homes even, do not appeal to me at all
