DRIVE TIME: 2 hours
Strolling the idyllic landscaped trails and watching the rescue horses cavort in the pasture, it’s hard to believe that these 30 acres of land were the site of a fierce battle and a strategic operations center during the Civil War. The original 1809 farmhouse and 1820s barn survived and retain their period charm, making for the perfect retreat after a day of historic immersion in Gettysburg. For the most authentic Civil War-era experience, ask for the Tack Room, with its original stone walls and hand-hewn beams.
