Gettysburg Battlefield Resort sits in the middle
of an area rich in Civil War history and affords visitors the opportunity
to enjoy yesteryear as well as the present day.
Youll want to start your step back in time by visiting the
Gettysburg National Military Park. Literally surrounding the city,
the park contains the Gettysburg Battlefield, the site of the most
costly battle of the Civil War. On the battlefield, youll
see the more than 1,300 monuments and markers in the 21-acre Gettysburg
National Cemetery. Stop at the Soldiers National Monument,
near where President Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg
Address. Relive how the Union soldiers were driven from the huge
rocks in a standoff with the Confederate army at Devils Den.
The barricade the Confederate troops erected, as a shield when they
fired on Little Round Top, is still intact.
Stop at the Lincoln Room Museum in the Wills House on the square
to see where President Lincoln finished his speech. You can see
the rooms original furnishings and hear the speech via a stereo
presentation. You can be one of the only 1100 visitors a day that
are allowed to tour the Eisenhower National Historic Site, the 231-acre
farm and home of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The estate, once
the presidents retreat, contains original furnishings as well
as personal possessions of the president and his wife.
A nice day trip east along Highway 30 will take you alongside horse
drawn buggies as you travel through the beautiful rolling hills
and farmland of the Amish and Mennonite countryside. Stop at Lancaster
to see the Amish Homestead, the National Wax Museum, Dutch Wonderland,
and the Pennsylvania Farm Museum of Landis Valley. For an overall
view of the Pennsylvania Dutch and Amish country, be sure to take
the 45-minute train ride that originates at Strasburg. |
