What’s the name of your shop? I think my daughter & I stopped in last week & thought it was so adorable! Wanted to buy a candle or something quaint but had my husband & our 5 teenage boys waiting on us. Lol.
Nice one! I'm going to Gettysburg in July for two days, courtesy of my boys as a 60th birthday present. I'm from England so it's one of my life's bucket list destinations 👍
I'm saving this video for this spring when I decide to go. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this video for people considering going to Gettysburg.
Thanks for the comment, @maryanngreatbatch931! Gettysburg truly is a special place with its rich history, beautiful architecture, and unique atmosphere. The walkability of the town really adds to its charm. Do you have a favorite spot or memory from your visit? Let me know! Don’t forget to subscribe to the channel and check out more videos for other amazing historic towns to explore.
Last time I was there was beautiful early Sept 1996 w/wife& 2yr old.Ended up cemetery where Lincoln spoke on short tour@ dusk, very magical, powerful! Can't believe how fast time flies- 2yr olds now has 3 kids of her own! Nice video, thank you
Hi David, Yes time does indeed fly. I actually brought my two year old daughter there too- so soon I'll be saying the same thing. Gettysburg is a truly inspirational place and a must see for any American to appreciate the struggles that our forefathers endured. Thanks for watching and please subscribe to this channel for more history related travel videos, if you haven't already!
Hi MrOoofah, Thanks for watching and thanks for your support. I'm glad I could ignite some of your memories with the video. Gettysburg is an amazing town filled with interesting history. It must have been cool attending college here.
Great tour of one of my favorite towns😁. My husband & I have date night every other week or so💞. Love how quaint our town is! It’s so hard to see all the “history” when we live so close by. I’ve been thinking of doing a Gettysburg Video on just cute things to do that doesn’t involve history for couples, friends & family. There’s SO many things!!! We love it!
Yes how lucky you are to live in such a cool town filled with such history! Thanks for watching! And you should do that video I'll be looking forward to watching it.
Gettysburg really is an amazing place and offers you a look into so much history. It really is a fantastic town and battlefield to get entrenched in american heritage.
Great history, my dude. I have not done the town, despite seeing the battlefield a few times. Love that you shared it and glad to see your channel is growing. We really appreciate what you are doing here and also the support of our channel as we build up to our carbon-neutral drive around the World. Our recent growth could not be possible without friends like you. Cheers! - Turtle and Bear
Thank you and next time you're in the area check out some of the museums in the town. I love what you both are doing, and eagerly await your new videos. Your destinations are fascinating and I hope to visit some of them in the future based on your recommendations.
2:17 mark last Sept did a late night Dinner there great staff and good food. 2:44 mark The old Blue Parrot lol in back down stairs they had a dance club were the collage kids would go lol had many good times there esp the loaded Nacho's, haven't tried Gettysburger yet 3:35 mark Dobbin house never ate there, we drank while doing the pub crawl / the Gift shop is deff worth hitting lots of great stuff esp if you looking for gifts. and they have a new out door dinning area 6:12 OMG the Dinner had MANY meals here as i could walk too it from my townhouse , good food was open 24/7 but last trip down found out the hard way due to staffing problems they close early on Sunday. 9:33 mark that was the go too place for dinner after work (Sweeny Tavern ) the beer garden is a must if you like to people watch and deff try the Bangers & Mash Great job, yeah a trip to Gburg can turn into a foodie trip real fast too lol you should look into going back in July for the 160th and see what the town is like when it's at peak tourist season.
Hey 2104, Thanks for watching and all of your input! The restaurants in town are all very good and I will definitely have to check out Gettysburger myself. I recommend the Dobbin House, the food was good but the ambience is what makes it- especially if you are interested in historical restaurants/pubs. Will have to check out Lincoln Diner too when it is open, it had weird hours and I wasn't able to eat there. Did you know the tavern and bed and breakfast are supposedly haunted at 9:33. And yes I definitely want to go back for the 160th anniversary this July. Will likely be a huge turnout because 160 is a big year. Stay tuned for that!
@@ProjectGaiaTravel i'll be in town for the 160th and looks to be having a meet up with 2 other youtube channels "Project_Past" & "Forward Gettysburg" dinner & Drinks & i think we are going too walk Pickett's Charge on July 3rd (they both will be filming stuff for there channels) yeah the whole town is active, i had a townhouse on Buford Ave that was active, and we used to go out ghost hunting very active all over. even at the Peace Flame behind in the treeline is rumored to be a mass grave , several reports of activity in the woods. yeah last July 4th we stayed out on the field till 9ish and the Park Rangers will clear you out, but it fell on a sunday and all the restaurants closed at 9ish bars were open but couldn't order any food, for food you deff need to try Hunts Battlefield Fries esp the Breakfast good & cheap the S.O.S. is so GOOD, the PUB at the Federal Point Inn is also very good and underrated the Boom Boom sauce for your fries heck yeah lol
"Thank you so much for your kind words, TMO! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and had a great experience in Gettysburg-it’s such a special place. What was your favorite part of your visit? I’d love to hear more about what made it memorable for you!"
Been there 7 times. Never saw any ghosts, but loved every minute of it. And I still want to go back to see more, while I’m still young enough to walk around.
Lots to do in Gettysburg, the Dobbin House is great. The town itself is incredible, then go over to the battlefield, my favorite thing to do is go to the General Meade Monument and stare across at the General Lee Monument, and vice versa, pretty cool. Little round top is captivating, Culp’s hill is really interesting too.
"Thank you so much for sharing your insights about Gettysburg! It sounds like you’ve had some incredible experiences there. The Dobbin House and the monuments you mentioned sound fascinating-your perspective on the battlefield adds so much depth. Do you have a favorite time of year to visit Gettysburg? I’d love to hear more about what makes it special for you!"
I have always gone in the summer, even went for one of the anniversaries when I was a kid, great re-enactments! I’ve stayed overnight a few times at the hotel Gettysburg, great place, easy parking out back in the garage. I’d like to visit in the fall or winter when the trees are less dense. I haven’t been to little round top since the new construction/rehab. Walking Pickett’s charge is also a great experience, gives perspective of the situation. I live in Maryland so not too far, another neat place is Antietam, the town of sharpsburg is cool to visit also. Gettysburg just has an allure to it I suppose.
Thank you for the information about Gettysburg and its history. Also Iwish to experience a day in Farnsworth house to see the spirits. I think I will enjoy it very much. Best of luck to you Channel 💐

If you get a chance you can do a video of the CSX line from New Freedom Pennsylvania and all the way to Hagerstown Maryland and at the New Oxford train station is very famous for a few different steam and diesel locomotives too and it is open on the 1st and the 3rd Sunday`s of every month and starts on the First Sunday in April and ends on the 3rd Sunday after the last Sunday in December before Christmas and New Years eve. So if you get the chance please come see and try and do a video of the whole train station, old mail car and the caboose too
@@ProjectGaiaTravel The train station at New Oxford is open on the 1st and the 3rd Sunday`s from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm April through December and closed January through March. With some special things happening on different days through out the whole year that the train station is open for the season
Hi Twinsboy. Yes that was on the agenda, but was unfortunately closed during this trip. I heard it offers great exhibits and I'm definitely looking to see it next time I'm in Gettysburg. Thanks for the tip!
@@ProjectGaiaTravel Good! And remember to tell folks that Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were major slave owners. It was a jewish trade ✡️ and Kanye West knows this.
The town is nothing like I imagined it. Buildings are not kept up, sidewalks look like they’re not maintained, and overall the town was quite a let down for me.
That's my cat & shop!! Thank you! 6:20
What a cool cat and store! I'm glad they both made it into the tour. Will have to stop in next time I'm in town. Thanks for watching!

This could be nothing, but at 7:11 I saw someone moving inside. It’s probably just a caretaker or something, but it kind of creeped me out. 😮
The house belonged to Georgia Mary wade , Jenny's sister house, Jenny was if 3 sisters and had one brother, her home was on Baltimore st.
Was just there on Monday stayed till Tuesday afternoon
Nice area like going there

Wasn't the Jennie Wade house, actually her sisters house, where Jennie was helping out, and Jennies house, down the road?
Gettysburg Museum of History?
Hi Twinsboy. Yes that was on the agenda, but was unfortunately closed during this trip. I heard it offers great exhibits and I'm definitely looking to see it next time I'm in Gettysburg. Thanks for the tip!
Very cool place too!
The Bible says be fruitful and multiply. Dobbins and his wife took that to heart.
Lol for sure. That's a lot of kids to watch, but back then I think they more watched themselves and the siblings helped. Thanks for watching!
It's pronounced Gettisburg after Samuel Gettys (pronounced Gettis). Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for the clarification and for watching.
Love gettysburg!! #Pixel8edHistory
I’m from Gettysburg- it’s “The Dobbin House” not Dobbins.
Flying Bull tavern!
Will have to check that out next time. Thanks for watching and the suggestion!
This is a basic tourist guide video. The town was founded by James Gettys pronounced “Gettis”
Gettysburg and Lincoln the symbol of democracy.
You could sit by the center square roundabout and watch people drive like idiots.
haha true that is another good thing to do.
Shrivel house’s attic was used by Confederate Snipers. No by the people defending their home. Good video though. Thanks.
Thank you for the clarification and for watching! Amazing how the military took over people's homes.
I live in Hanover Pennsylvania Love Gettysburg very much
It is an amazingly historical city filled with charm and history. Arguably one of the most American heritage filled places in the USA.
Where can we celebrate Richard E. Lee and the Confederate Army? ✊🏻 ✝️
The best place is probably Richmond, which is soon to come.
@@ProjectGaiaTravel Good! And remember to tell folks that Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were major slave owners. It was a jewish trade ✡️ and Kanye West knows this.
You can do that at Gettysburg too, go to seminary ridge, lots of cool monuments and they just built a replica of Lee’s headquarters there.
Ginny Wade house is a waste of time and money.
The town is nothing like I imagined it. Buildings are not kept up, sidewalks look like they’re not maintained, and overall the town was quite a let down for me.
