Just south of the town is the location where the film Gettysburg was filmed. It's now the location for reenactments each year that depict the three-day battle which changed the course of American history and had a great influence on the American Civil War.

Typically, the reenactment is during the actual anniversary--the Fourth of July weekend (it happened July 1-3, but assume it's near that date that the reenactment occurs) but this year it rained and the reenactment was moved to August. The crowds were much smaller, but it was still a good experience.

Wyndham Gettysburg Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve been coming here for years, and the stuff has been great, I’ve been clean and spacious. Plus, close to everything."

1863 Inn of Gettysburg

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and room was very spacious. The whole property was very clean. Can’t rate the pool area as it was already shut down for the season but it appeared clean in that area. Breakfast was good. Location is convenient. Lobby is cozy. I’m hoping to return to the area for a longer stay and will definitely consider them for my accommodations in the future. "

Hotel Gettysburg

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent but expensive property right by the Path train which gives you a 5 minute ride into lower Manhattan. Great views from almost every window. I have just one quibble and that is with the parking. You either have to valet park which was kind of chaotic or you have to a few blocks away in the Whole Foods garage. Not a big but inconvenient and we had to ask about self park."
