Assuming good weather and no hurricanes Fall is a great time to visit Gettysburg ~ which is why there will be plenty of Boy Scouts camped out around there on the weekends.
The battlefield is readily accessed from the Washington DC area, Baltimore area, and various spots in Pennsylvania.
You will want to rent a car ~ start working on that now.
