Destination: Gettysburg in July

In July, the historic town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, will mark the 146th anniversary of the most critical battle of the Civil War. Often called the high watermark of the Rebel cause, General Lee’s retreat after the bloody four-day July battle indicated the beginning of the end of the Confederacy. If you’re planning to visit the battlefields and other historic Gettysburg sites, we recommend you book a bed and breakfast to get the real feeling for the historic town. Many are in buildings that pre-date the battle, and owners have kept the furniture, artifacts, decor and mood of the mid-19th Century country home.
