Get the Ghost Adventures: Gettysburg episode. Either he will be excited to be ghost hunting at the battlefield or he will be scared out of his mind....both should keep him plenty occupied.

We did this trip a few years ago, our kids were a little older than 9. We hit the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown the day before, as well as a coal mine trip. The kids actually enjoyed the driving tour of Gettysburg with commentary on the CD player in the car. That way you can make your own pace and stop longer or not. As far as entertainment on the way, I would think something along Iron Man/Dark Knight stuff would be ok, maybe a Field of Dreams throwback, or go with Ken Burns Civil War documentary- he can sleep the whole way!
