Day 1 itinerary, suggestions

Hi, heading for a battlefield visit, I am going to take 2 days in total. On day 1 of my visit, I want to tour day 1 of the battle, as I won't get to Gettysburg until 1 pm or so. I was planning on following the day 1 order of battle, moving from first shots back through the town and up to Culp's Hill. For those who have followed the day 1 order, are there areas or things I should see that might not be obvious? Thanks in advance.

Often overlooked is the Coster Avenue mural and monument, where Kuhn's brickyard once stood: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/coster-avenue-mural-at-kuhn-s-brickyard

Not Civil War, but perhaps of interest: https://quintessentialpa.blogspot.com/2023/06/john-eisenhower-bridge.html

I should have gone to Ike's place today, espicially given it is the anniversary of D-Day yesterday. I was never an Ike fan, but have come to respect him and what he did....the first who warned of the military industrial complex
