Just south of the town is the location where the film Gettysburg was filmed. It's now the location for reenactments each year that depict the three-day battle which changed the course of American history and had a great influence on the American Civil War.

Typically, the reenactment is during the actual anniversary--the Fourth of July weekend (it happened July 1-3, but assume it's near that date that the reenactment occurs) but this year it rained and the reenactment was moved to August. The crowds were much smaller, but it was still a good experience.

"Very nice old farmhouse in a quiet and relaxing setting. Large grassy and wooded section to the front of the house that featured deer & turkeys. The house was cozy & comfortable & had everything we needed to relax after a day of sightseeing in Gettysburg."

"We had an amazing stay at this beautiful, historic Gettysburg farmhouse! After a full day it was great to retire at this cozy, spacious place. It is tucked away in a quiet part of Gettysburg but allows for a quick drive to any part of the battlefield, downtown or Hanover, PA nearby. "

"This was a nicely decorated (to Civil War period) home, with old Civil War photos and matching furniture. Very close to Lincoln Square, and walking distance to most attractions in Gettysburg."
