The Town of Gettysburg is most known for the notorious battle that took place in and around the the area in July of 1863, but there is more to the town than simply the Battle of Gettysburg.
A little known fact is that some of the battle took place off the battlefield and in the streets right in front of the people's homes. This tour shows you the best things to see in the Town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Dine in a historic restaurant like Dobbins House, see how the Battle of Gettysburg impacted people in town at the Shriver Museum, see the battle in perspective at the Gettysburg Diorama and History Center, stay at a haunted bed and breakfast at the Farnworth House, and stroll the historic streets with the many eclectic shops, restaurants, bars, and hotels.
Gettysburg is more than the historic battlefield and this tour will show all of the things you must see when you're off the battlefield during your Gettysburg experience.

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!
I’ve never been to Gettysburg, it’s on my Bucket List!! I’m looking forward to visiting sometime soon! It looks like a beautiful, quaint Oti
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!
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.
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.
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.
A very nicely done video. Informative and well narrated.
I attended Gettysburg College 1980-84. Watching your video brought back many good memories. 👍
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.
How I miss that place! I went there three times about 20 years ago, and haven’t had a chance to go back! What a magical place!
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.
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
awesome video. I can't wait to see the town when visiting Gettysburg. Thanks for the history and info!
Thanks for watching!
Go in June.You'll see a bunch of gay pride flags and crap.
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.
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 💐
Thanks for watching! It definitely is an interesting place to see and is filled with Civil War history.
Loved this!!! ❤️❤️
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.
@@ProjectGaiaTravel Cheers to the mutual inspiration. We will be in Gettysburg on the World tour, and I will add this tto my notes.
@@thegallivanthropologists for sure. Let me know when you're near the east coast of the US maybe we can do a collab.
@@ProjectGaiaTravel Based in FL, but all our plans are far afield for this year. Europe, Asia , and South America.
I’m like you, I’ve been there several times but never did any of this stuff! I gotta go back!
Good stuff young man👍😎
Excellent video👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍
Great video!
Hi L Karamazov. Thanks for watching. Check out some of our other videos and please subscribe if you haven't already to see all of our upcoming videos across the USA and the world.
Thank you very much for including the Thaddeus Stevens statue.
Of course! Thanks for watching!
JP, I watched your video on the town of Jim Thorpe, PA, and absolutely loved it. You are a good presenter as you explain key aspects of the towns you visit. Thank you for producing these videos! And yes, I did subscribe, rang the bell for future notifications and liked. 😉
I just had to look up what "Gaia" meant and was not surprised to learn the definition...
Gaia is the primordial goddess of the Earth. The Gaia hypothesis is a scientific theory that proposes that the Earth is a self-regulating system, and that all living and nonliving things on the planet are interconnected. The hypothesis was first proposed by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis in the 1970s, and it has been the subject of much debate and research ever since.
Thank you so much for watching and the support. I'm very glad you subscribed and joined our travel community. I'm also very happy that you got the Gaia part- exactly what I was going for. Stay tuned for more interesting places around the world.
I'm from new Jersey been to Gettysburg at least 10 times
Its an incredible place filled with history and interesting things to see. A must visit for American history enthusiasts. Thanks for watching, and please comment your additional recommendations.
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. 😮
Love gettysburg!! #Pixel8edHistory
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!
Wasn't the Jennie Wade house, actually her sisters house, where Jennie was helping out, and Jennies house, down the road?
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
Definitely will have to check that out soon. Thanks for the tip and for watching!
@@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
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!
Flying Bull tavern!
Will have to check that out next time. Thanks for watching and the suggestion!
Gettysburg and Lincoln the symbol of democracy.
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.
You could sit by the center square roundabout and watch people drive like idiots.
haha true that is another good thing to do.
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.
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.
