Gettysburg is a quiet town on the banks of Rock Creek, close to the intersection of Routes 15 and 30 in Pennsylvania. Home to the battlefield that saw one of the pivotal encounters of the American Civil War, the town is also where Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg Address. The historic downtown area is packed with quaint buildings dating back to the pre-Civil War era, such as the stately Gettysburg Hotel. The town was also home to President Dwight Eisenhower. Today, the Eisenhower farm and home welcome visitors every day. Reliving important moments in American history comes easy in Gettysburg, with battlefield tours, interactive events and fascinating museums. Horseback riding is a fun way of exploring the sprawling farms and orchards around town. Scenic biking and walking trails, golf courses and forest land offer plenty of outdoor recreational opportunities. Wine and beer connoisseurs can treat themselves to tours of countryside wineries and downtown tasting rooms, known for their craft specialties. Family-run farmers’ markets are a common sight here. Foodies are sure to be delighted with the gourmet selection of flavours and fresh produce on offer.
