Gettysburg
Gettysburg provides everything you need for a fun-filled family trip or a romantic weekend getaway with your significant other. This quaint tiny town in southern Pennsylvania is teeming with mom-and-pop stores, inviting inns, and eateries serving American cuisine prepared using local ingredients.
However, it's likely that you are traveling to this East Coast location to view its wealth of historic sights. Gettysburg, known for its connections to the Civil Conflict, is the location of numerous historically significant locations, including Gettysburg National Military Park, the site of the bloodiest fight of the war. Consider taking a Gettysburg guided tour if you want to thoroughly understand the history of the park.
Even while you could easily spend the most of your day visiting the park, be sure to leave some time for additional Civil War sites like the Jennie Wade House and the Shriver House Museum. Additionally, you can explore the Eisenhower National Historic Site or stop for a picture at Sachs Covered Bridge to escape from Gettysburg's gloomy past. No of how you choose to spend your holiday, you'll undoubtedly feel more at ease and knowledgeable when you depart the city.
