Gettysburg:
History & More
Step into a scene that feels lifted straight from a holiday movie: twinkling lights wrapped around historic buildings, music drifting from local restaurants, and a towering Christmas tree shining at the heart of Lincoln Square. Here, the holidays bring a joyful burst before winter quiets the town, when residents and visitors come together for carriage rides, candlelight tours, and evenings filled with music, laughter, and community spirit.
What makes Gettysburg special is how it balances then and now, where you can wander through an 1863 Christmas experience one moment, and warm up with a glass of wine or a local brew the next. It’s a place that surprises you with how much there is to do, and how good it feels to slow down long enough to take it all in.
