Hotels near Gettysburg Regional Airport - GTY, Gettysburg

Gettysburg is a historic town everyone in this country should see. The battle in 1863 is one that should, but unfortunately is not, well taught in high schools around the country, being a pivotal battle in the Civil War. The town has done a good job at embracing its historic past and added something for everyone. From horseback battlefield tours with licensed battlefield guides to ghost tours of the town. Plenty of good restaurants and bars and charming hotels/bed n breakfasts to stay. In my mind, a must see.

If you want to learn about the battle that was fought in Gettysburg make sure to go on a free guided walking tour by a park ranger. They are very informative and you will surely learn something new. You can join one of these free tours at the visitors center and museum or get a schedule with meet up locations for the day.

The Gettysburg National Park is a must see for everyone! There is so much history in this little town. Go to the Visitor Center for sure. They have a museum and bus tours available. There are also horse back riding tours available. There are many options to purchase audio for a self guided auto tours available on line too. Highly recommend visiting Sachs Bridge, Little Round Top and the Eisenhower farm. When you're not on the battle field, there are numerous places to eat and places to shop. Also, bring a nice camera for some amazing photos.

Tons of monuments. One for each Corp involved in both sides of the battles fought there. If you are going there for historical purposes, definitely get the auto tour. It helped us so much and we loved it. We stopped as much as we wanted to and got out and looked at what we wanted to see but still got a great understanding of the battles fought in the 3 days. The tour we got was about a 1/2 day in length with no deviations but it took us most of the day because we stopped and got out many times to see the area. The tour also had extras that we listened to. It was great. Definitely see little round top. From there you get a good perspective of the field and what occurred there.

The museums and grounds are an absolute gem to our country. The city and dining are top notch. Was amazed at how clean the place was. Other tourist cities need to come visit, as this is a great example. Excellent dining and plenty of options. Dobbins House was beyond exceptional.

Gettysburg is alive with so much history. The town is still small and the downtown area remains pretty much as it was during the battle and shortly after. There are many great museums, restaurants, and shops to frequent. Of course, the best part is the well preserved battlefield and the stories for those who fought and died for their country.
