Gettysburg, PA is one of our nation’s premiere historic travel destinations. Nestled in idyllic Adams County, it offers breathtakingly scenic landscapes, wide-ranging outdoor activities, adventurous dining and perhaps most famously an unparalleled, firsthand look at our country’s dramatic and inspiring past.
Tour the hallowed battlefield and feel the full weight of its solemn significance. See it as the soldiers did, with a horseback tour led by a Licensed Battlefield Guide or on a double-decker bus tour and hear the tale of the famous battle with the wind in your hair.
Pause for a moment of inspiration in the Soldiers National Cemetery where President Abraham Lincoln delivered his stirring
Gettysburg Address. Be sure to take a leisurely stroll through the historically preserved downtown area encircling Lincoln Square.
Gain insight into our nation’s gripping legacy at interactive museums and state-of-the-art education centres. Test your wits at a period-authentic escape room.
Find the perfect gift at quaint shops filled with one-of-a-kind antiques, handmade treasures and authentic Civil War artifacts. If the spirit is willing, snuggle close together when darkness falls for an eerie evening ghost tour of famous haunts.
And, of course, the entire region is brimming with foodie-pleasing dining establishments, offering local farm-to-table cuisine in a wide variety of styles.
