Introduction:
There are as many ways to explore our area as there are interests of the visitors who come here. For those interested in seeing the battlefields of Gettysburg, some relax on an air-conditioned bus listening to a recorded story. There are those who drive in their own car with an auto tape tour and others hire a Licensed Battlefield Guide to ride with them to explain the three famous days in 1863.  The hearty take the National Park Service self-guided walking tours or join the crowd of a park ranger led tour. And the adventuress enjoy touring the 40 miles of battlefield roads by bicycle or galloping across the 5,700 acres of field by horseback.

Further understand the courage and hardships of the soldiers by visiting our ten Civil War related museums or take an authentic Civil War house tour by day and a haunted ghost tour by night. Live theater includes a personal visit with "President Lincoln", Civil War plays and ghost stories. Throughout the year you can talk to the soldiers in encampments and reenactments.

And there is more history here than the three days in 1863! View artifacts of  the 200+ years of Gettysburg and the area at the Adams County Historical Society.  Enjoy a country drive through the largest fruit belt in Pennsylvania or explore the eighteenth century with one of our county driving tours.
