visit three private homes and seven historic inns. Each stop is included for
its historic value and beauty of its lavish gardens. As you wander amid the
tranquil environs of each garden, it is our hope that in addition to sheer
enjoyment, you might also come away with some ideas for your own homes and
gardens. As you meander along the stops of the tour, you will visit not only Gettysburg’s oldest residential home, but several other properties that date from the early 1700s to the late 1800s.

All proceeds from your donation will benefit two great local organizations: The Gettysburg Festival, which hosts an annual celebration of art, culture and cuisine, and the Land Conservancy of Adams County, which works tirelessly to preserve the rural lands and character of the county. The tour begins at 1:00 PM and ends at 5:00 PM.
