Welcome to Gettysburg!
The story of Adams County, from the days of Indian raids to the development plans of today, spreads over two centuries. But Gettysburg is best known for just three days of that time, July 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 1863 - the Battle of Gettysburg. Though the conflict ended well over a century ago, each year nearly 2 million people make the pilgrimage to this venerable site, the largest battlefield shrine in America with over 1,000 monuments and cannon and over 40 miles of scenic avenues. They come to see for themselves the spot where thousands fought and died for their "cause", the spot where President Lincoln spoke and still speaks today.
When you've had enough of history, enjoy fun things like a cool train ride through the beautiful countryside, ride on miniature horses, view a magic town, ski the slopes and quench your thirst at a local brewery or winery. Whatever your passion, a visit to Gettysburg will in no way be disappointing.
